I believe all the stories about fiercely protective mothers and Hormones etc.
I live in a big apartment block of 4 flats per floor and 7 floors(I live on the 7th ).
We have a bunch of rowdy youngsters (4 boys and 3 girls) who live below us on 6th floor.
on Wednesday these folks at 6th floor decided to get drunk and play really loud music since 3 PM and didnt stop.
There is a lady who lives right across me on 7th floor and has recently(3 months ago) delivered a baby boy. Due to the loud noise the poor baby was unable to sleep and kept getting cranky.
She knocked on my door a few times and we called the building committe /security incharge to come over and ask the youngsters to stop the lound music( this was not the first instance we have had trouble with them for 4-5 months now).
When the building incharge refused to understand and instead asked us to submit a written application( the next day) and then they might take some action.
We tried everything.
the lady left my flat and went to her's .
10 mins later and around 8 PMI heard loud shreaks and ran down with mum to see the lady holding her baby and with a wild temper knocked on their door till they were forced to open and screamed at them for their constant disturbance. Those boys were drunk and started being obnoxious. Then she called the police . Things didnt die down.
So mum took the baby from her and gave him to me and she was the only one from an entire building who stood by her. The others were scared to take on 4 boys.
so 2 women and 4 boys..
.. and trust me Hell hath no fury( than of a mother).
Well while we waited for the police and everything.
I was trembling in my PJs.
A three month old baby.. Crying.. in my arms. Shite
I tried everything i knew and the baby wont stop.
I rocked it, I made faces to try to shock it out of crying, i got anything which made tinkling sounds to make it stop.
It just wouldnt.
Finally I sang as last resort.. and after a few mins it worked.. I managed to put a baby to Sleep...
Well i guess the baby was tried after being up so long due to the noise
When Mum and neighbour came up they were surprised to see him sleeping like an angel..
And he sure looked like an angel.. i forgot all about the 30 mins i spent trying to stop him from crying.
Babies sure are beautiful..
Oh and by the time the police arrived those 6th floor rowdy bunch had fled..
aah.. all in a day's work!!
