Sweety sweet..

This was a little conversation we had when I was playing with my daughter.

 Me - "You are so sweet"
 Daughter - "Do you want to eat me? I am sweet”.

 And this was asked so earnestly that I could not help but give her a big cuddle.

And the moral of the story is....

When kids are small they will listen too anything and believe it. As they grow up you notice that instead of being mere listeners, they  interpret things and start asking questions. The next stage is when they start correcting you and in such a way that you cant disagree.. So at bedtime, my daughter wanted to listen  to a bedtime story. I was so sleepy and tried to tell her the usual stories that she hears every time. But she wanted to listen to a new story. What came to my mind was the story of the Fox and the crow.

Smelly Bus

 We are so relieved and grateful that corona is not a pandemic anymore. So the most important repercussion of which is the absence of masks. It has definitely been a welcome change, but never saw it in the point of view of kids.

Many a time we didn't board when we didn't have a mask at hand. So recently after the masks were relaxed, I was travelling with my 5 year old son, in the bus. Son: "We don't need to wear a mask in this bus?" Me: "No we don't anymore" Son: "So we have to wear it in the other bus because it is smelly and this is not  ?" It struck me after a while that he thought we wore the mask to avoid the smell :) Definitely we did never speak about why we were wearing the mask in the first place but it was amusing to know what went into the little minds :)

Same mistakes ..

Its really interesting to know how the kids think.  My daughter spilled some food while eating and  I told her to eat carefully. Me- "Why do you always spill food? Be more careful". The next day I was transferring food from a big pan to a plate and some of it fell down. She came running to the kitchen. Daughter: "Are you ok?" Me: "Yes I just spilled some food." Without batting her eyelids , Daughter:"Mummy, why do you always spill food? Well I didn't answer her and was cleaning . In a consoling tone. Daughter: "Mom maybe because I came from your stomach that is why we both make the same mistakes." Well I couldn't disagree :)
