4. To rub their hands with their clothes after eating.

But this was a smart trick you had to acquire because you had to do it without your mother noticing it.

Because why settle for less when you can have more in life?

8. Binge-watching daily soap and not even guilty!.

Yes, we simultaneously watched daily soap with our parents at an age we also were obsessed with cartoons. This is where we learned how to be open to different things!

9. Guess what? Ichchha from Uttaran and Prerna from Kasauti Zindagi are etched in our hearts.

Oh, those sweet memories of childhood, in other parts of the world, people considered Marvel characters as their heroes, but we loved nobody as much as Anandi from Balika Vadhu. The things we share it with our parents!

10.) Calling a store "Kone waali dukaan" instead of remembering the store’s actual name.

Every store has a name and every locality has a supermarket, but how many of them are actually called by their names? Your grandmother once upon a time would have called a shop as "kinaare pe jo dukaan hai" and till date, everybody in your family (including you) calls it that. Talk about family legacy!

11.) Mispronouncing fancy brand names because why not?.

Everything Italian has to sound Indian, they just cannot leave the things the way they are. We even put paneer in pizza, what more can you expect?

12.) Watching sitcoms like Game of Throne, but never together.

Netflix and Amazon prime are becoming increasingly common now and our parents have begun to share the same interest in sitcoms too, but knowing what we know ill we ever sit with them and watch Game of Thrones? Never, God knows what might flash on the screen. *insert awkwardness here*

13.) Everybody has watched Murder 1,2 and 3 but nobody ever admitted.

Remember that phase in childhood when these movies came out, but everybody would lie about not watching it? Because we are the good kids, good kids do what their parents tell them to.

14.) Girlfriend? Who? Boyfriend? What is that?.

We will never acknowledge the existence of our girlfriend/ boyfriend in front of our parents. Your girlfriend might be living five blocks away but you will always pretend like you do not know her in front of your parents. Because *Sanskaar*.

15.) Somehow to bully your mom by telling her she has the worst cooking skills, but telling everybody else that she is the best cook in the world.

It is that love-hate relationship we have with our parents which makes our bond even cuter. We tell them we do not love them, but there is literally nobody else in the world we love more!
