From a bump till they jump

Its a wonder when you realise how fast time flies, you could really see the effects of time through the development of a child, yes..from when they start showing themselves as a bump in their mother's womb through to becoming mini-adults, walking up-right proudly seeking attention and affection.

I had just walked into the elevator going up and I realised a tiny rascal complaining to his mom , whom happend to be my floor neighbour. We exhanged smiles and a few nods and the tiny tot felt insulted so he was acknowledged as well. A couple of forced "Hi's" from the mr.DennisInTheMaking then we were best friends. Then as the lift reached our floor before the door opened , I blurted out to the mother, " Your youngest?" "Yes, was her reply with a sheepish smile...well that's her fourth one as far as I know, not sure whether the last one.

As we parted ways to our own apartments, then I just had a moment of truth. How time really flies, I could still vividly remember her with her kids, hurled together after school and shopping outings, then she had her bump, saw it grow bigger by the day, all this of course witness during our elevators moments.

Then, Mr.Sunshine arrived, along came grandma, all the way from Penang to take care of her latest branch to the family tree.
Our elevator moments, grew less frequent by the day and months due my busyness, till I completely forgot about mr.Sunshine till today. He must be at least 2 years old now, 2 years had past by without me really noticing it until I saw that little rascal. Well, I guess we tend to go on with life in the same way until one day, suddenly in the mirror you see an unfamiliar face...strange but true... and I didn't get his name as well
