Kids flying the model helicopter at home one evening.
Me: Fly low kanna, its safer.
Kiddo: Amma, you have to get high if you want to have fun!
Gulp… not a good sign of things to come in the teen years.

Me: Weekend is almost over. Why does Monday have to come so quickly?
Her: But amma, Sunday is not yet over. Why don’t you enjoy it while it’s still here?
– Says my B+ve 8 year old.
Disclaimer – She’s my own flesh, but certainly not my blood 🙂
I wonder if we’re like a louse living in someone’s head. A clump of hair would be like a galaxy. And we’d all be crawling around in our own world.
– Bedtime musings of an overactive imagination 🙂
Me: Why can’t you just accept something and do it because I said so and not keep asking questions?
Kid 1: It’s good to question, amma, so you can learn… 🙂
Kid 2: …and be knowledgeable and be a gyaani 🙂
– And now they are volleying back in tandem. Why, oh why!
Sometimes we like to shut off our ears. It depends on what we want to hear.
– Says the kid who can hear me gossiping with her dad in the next room, but turns a deaf ear when asked to clean the table.
Just you wait, my cheeky little kiddo! The next time you call out for help with washing the shampoo out of your hair, guess who’s hearing will be gone? *Evil grin*
