Some people, especially children, have amazing presence of mind. I was casually chatting with a friend and told him, “I could not sleep whole day yesterday.” His child snapped back, “But you slept whole night?”
My elder daughter was an average student like me at school (But so was Einstein, hehe).
“Why don’t you score more?” I asked her once.
“It’s all in the genes papa,” she replied.
Once a relative arrived with a mischievous child, who pulled down curtains and danced on our bed.
“Keep quiet or I will give you an injection. I am a doctor,” joked my daughter.
“Oh, you are a doctor. I am a policeman. I will beat you with this stick,” the demon chased my daughter.
My daughter was recently telling me, "Jaldi aa jao, kaam karenge." "Come fast, we have work to do!"
ReplyDeleteKids can be cruel at times.Just few days back my son objected when one of our guest was about to drink the tea i served him...'uncle,you just picked your nose,go and wash your hands otherwise mom is going to get really angry'.Hmmm...
ReplyDeleteHi Ramesh,
ReplyDeleteGood one! Keeping the child in you kicking? Guess you don't have to teach kids the Power of Now, they are always in the Now. As it is said you got to be a child to enter the kingdom of heaven. Sometimes I do hope someone can turn back the clock. Wishful thinking...

ReplyDeletebut kids sometimes do get on your nerves and have an unlimited ability to bug..!
I agree with Kavitha's words.they are cruel at times. The way they ask spontaneous questions will sometimes make me dumb-struck!
ReplyDeleteOh yes kids these days are very smart. My niece was playing with my smart phone. Its a touch phone and was rapidly pressing numbers on the calculator. I told her not to be too fast. She said "I am testing if the calculator knows how to add" :-S

ReplyDeleteMy niece's daughter was admitted to pre-KG class, last month. The school HM asked her to recite some poems she knew. This girl recited many poems and the HM asked, "how did you learn so many songs?" "God's gift", the child replied!
Today's kids are superfast, its hard to keep up with them indeed!
