Holidays are not only for picnics and having a fun time but sometimes they signify an event or a phenomenon worth celebrating. I have decided to celebrate the challenges, parents and children go through which is very important for a number of reasons. Our parents put so much on the line to make sure that we have every chance at surviving the world and growing up to be worthy members of society. On the other hand, we as children face a lot of challenges in the process of growing and learning which are sometimes hard to explain to parents as they are tackling bigger problems for us every day. All these individual battles that parents and children fight every day create a generation gap and a point comes when they are unable to resonate with each other in terms of love and support. But don’t worry; I may have an idea to solve this problem by introducing a holiday where my mom will be ‘’Ms. Taqwa Ahmed ‘’ for one day and I will be my mom for one day so the both of us can understand each other’s struggles. I’ll have to get up earlier than my usual time and try to make breakfast for my mother along with pressing her clothes and getting her ready for a play date with my friends. I would still need help with that but I aim to get an idea of the difficulty of each task. While my mother is playing with my friends, I will have to clean my room, fold my laundry and be a responsible adult. Since I can’t cook lunch and dinner, I will maybe order her a pizza and I know it’s not ideal but hey it’s a holiday so we are allowed to have some Fun, right? On the contrary, my mum is looking at a really hard day as being Taqwa Ahmed is not easy. She must learn the names of all my friends, the games we play, our interests, my tech savviness, and a lot more. Oh, it’s so hard to be me, the struggle alone is tiring. By being me for a day, my Mom would understand how hard it is to maintain a social presence and be likeable to peers. In general, this holiday would help me understand how hard it is to take care of Taqwa (I have it under control guys) and my mom would know how hard it is to be Taqwa (Oh the shared burden of it upon my little shoulders). This should be so much fun!
