ESL Blogs

This is the last month Writing Challenge. Many challengers took parts in the writing challenge with so much enthusiasm and expressed their affections for their mothers impressively, but none of them wrote a blog on a stepmother who also plays positive or negative role in the life of a stepchild. Maybe none of them had  the stepmother.

So, let me introduce you my stepmother who always comes in the time of necessity. I am sure you must have met this mother many times or at least once a life. I met this mother when my real mother went to uncle's home (mother's brother) and could not come back to home due to sudden call for strike from a political party.

The market was completely closed due to the strike. There were sufficient food such as meatballs, fishes and raw vegetables in the refrigerator except bread. Hence, the bread was my necessity at that time. On the other hand,  being a grade 10 student had no exact idea how to bake a perfect bread.

Accordingly, the stepmother came to play her role. Apparently, she didn't lend me a helping hand in all the process of baking my first bread, nevertheless she forced me to do everything which I needed to do. She made me take out flour as per my requirement, mix water, salt and then beat it till it became a soft dough. Then she forced me to bake it on oven.

When my first bread was successfully baked. I said to her, " stepmother is notorious for her cruelty and you aren't differed from others. You are indeed my cruel mother". she whispered, "Sorry, I am not your mother. I am the mother of invention not the inventor".  My God! The greatest misunderstanding!  Having got through this experience, I have been sure that necessity is the mother of invention, not inventor.
