Not again!!

Imagine getting advice from your 3 and half year old, its funny and heartwarming at the same time. Till your kids were babies and toddlers you never got a response to your monologue, but beware whatever you say now they will make it a dialogue and a funny one at that. You will be in a hurry and maybe speaking to yourself at times and if your kid overhears it you will get astonishing replies.

We were running to the bus stop and were going to miss the bus.
Me - "Oh no we are late, we will miss the bus."
Daughter - " Don't worry mom another bus will come, we will take that."


The other day I was imitating my daughter cry.
Me - "I want my mom."
Daughter (thinking for a while) - "Mom your mom is far away, she is in the laptop and we cant go inside.
I am there and daddy is there. We both are there for you mom."
The laptop reference because she talks to her grandmother on  video chat.


My daughter wanted to go to the playground that was far from home.
Daughter - "Mom lets go to the playground."
Me - "Its late and we have no bus to go there."
Daughter- "Mom we will run run and go there".


Today I cut my finger while washing a knife. I was showing her.
Me - "Oh  I cut my finger."
Daughter - "Oh no not again!! You should not touch the knife, if you touch the knife you will cut your finger."

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. Me: Once upon a time a crow found a piece of meat and took it and sat on a tree. A hungry fox below saw it and wanted the to eat it. He told the crow, "Oh crow, what a lovely voice you have. I have come from far away to hear your voice." Hearing his praise the crow was flattered. Just as he opened his mouth to sing, the piece of meat fell down.The fox ate it and ran away. So the moral of the story is you should not believe  false praise. To which my d...

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. The public transport was the last place where masks were compulsory recently, so I always checked if I has a spare mask for wearing it during bus ride. 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 :)
