A simple glass piece
Painted with utmost care and rejoice
Transformed into a beautiful art
Bringing life to every part ..
Alas, to the wind
that shattered it to pieces...
My admires to the lass
who still beleives putting it together
as a challenge to the wind....
Confronting with the way of life..
With a confident smile upon the face,,,
There are many times when we stumble to answer the witty curiosity of our growing toddlers. Just thought would pen some of the cutest, sometimes embarrassing but still thought- provoking moments of my little one before it fades from my memory. May be when he grows up we can relish it together :) or I just leaf through these lovely growing years of his, when these spontaneous innocence fades into maturity.
Here goes few…
Navneeth: Thatha, what do you do as soon as you get up?
Grandpa : brush my teeth
Navneeth: But then you don’t have teeth…(With real serious face curious for an answer!)
In the music class,
Teacher: Why are you looking at her? look at me and sing!!
Navneeth: Because in my school “Aadit” was looking at “ Harini”
What a logic!
When I was trying to teach the concept of “maternal” and “paternal” relationships…
Mom: what do you call radha chithi(my sister)
Navneeth: Thinks….with help says maternal aunt
Mom: what do you call viji athai(dad’s sister)?
Navneeth: Again with help,,,says paternal aunt
Mom: rukku paat(My mom)?
Navneeth: maternal grandma
Mom: too very satisfied..says very good!!!!
I was so pleased that he got it right, in the mindset to refresh it , asked him again , now can you tell me what you call radhai paati(dad’s mom)?
Answer: maternal mom!!
Mom: oh no!!!wrong!!
Navneeth: no, I am right..
Mom: Just now I told you navneeth,,,think and say,,,
Navneeth: you call dad’s mom as mom…..you have two moms…why do u say I am wrong?
Mom…ya, you are right!! L
Navneeth: say sorry then!!next time say it right..ok? “say ok…”
In the park, High on the ladder ready to slide,,,
Navneeth: mom, look how tall I am..
Mom: really tall dear..now can u slide..
Navneeth: Can I jump from here?
Mom: No..slide (annoyed)
Navneeth: y??
Mom; little agitated, slideeeeeeeeee,,,,,,,,,,
Navneeth: will I die if I jump from here?
(Loud enough for everyone to hear)
Mom: (embarrassed): pushing the leg to forcibly slide him down !!!!
In the school, when the teacher was discussing on the profession of parents…a small conversation between kids, which I would say gave me the satisfaction that defeated even the best appraisals of my career …
X to Navneeth: My mom is a teacher
Navneeth: without hesitation, my mom takes me from school to home!!
