“Tiggy, c’mon we are getting late” said little Zoe tugging at the leash. Zoe like a typical chubby four year old is running around the house excited as she is visiting her granny.
“Zoe what will you have for Breakfast?”
“Whatever, Tiggy is having?”
“What is Tiggy going to eat?”
“Tiggy wants Pancakes”
“I can make your favorite cereal and put raisins”
“No, I will eat whatever Tiggy is eating”
This is the normal conversation between Zoe and her mother, almost like a routine and so today was no different. Zoe’s mother Susan is a single mother, her father Rob is in the army and is currently commissioned in Iraq. Susan is a healthcare professional and keeps erratic working hours. She is about to start night shifts at her hospital and is therefore, going to her mother’s place so that Zoe can be looked after.
So little Zoe and Susan with Tiggy in tow set off to granny’s place. On the way they stopped at the Gas station for a loo break as both Tiggy and Zoe wanted to pee really badly! At the gas station, all the staff was amazed to see this playful chubby child, with curly black hair and big naughty eyes. Running and pulling a wool ball Zoe was screaming “C’mon Tiggy, let’s go number one”.
Yes, that was the little Tiggy, Zoe’s imaginary friend. He came in different hues sometimes Red, Pink, and Brown and today he is a bright Orange. Zoe completely loves him. Susan tried many times to wean her away from him, and even got Zoe a Pug, but he died of illness. Tiggy and Zoe have since then become inseparables and he has helped Zoe cope the death of the Pug, whom she affectionately called Piggy. Doctors say, this is just a phase and Zoe will soon grow out of it. Till then, Susan has to learn to love Tiggy like Zoe.
