Butterfly

Teacher asked each child in the class to talk about Butterfly
Most students answered, "I want to be a butterfly because I like flying"
My dear daughter said, "I like butterflies, because it has so many colors, and I love colors."

jhoot bole kaua kaate...

I am the strict one…so its obvious that Ahana loves appaji & ajji when it comes to pampering her. She can get away with anything with them :-).
Yesterday at the dinner table she was acting cranky as she had not had her afternoon nap. Her ajji started feeding her the dosa pieces which were there in her plate. She had been served two dosas, of which she had been fed about 1 ½ dosas when she said that she did not want anymore. I was in the other room feeding her brother and was not aware of what was happening inside the dining room. She had asked ajji to put the left over pieces into the dustbin and not tell me about it. But then appaji & ajji told her that it was wrong to lie to me. The fear of being scolded had made her lie to me. Am glad that the stories of God punishing her if she lied still works with her!!

1-20

As usual Ahana was drawing again. This time she drew a Joker..then a Big square and small small squares within it. Looked more like a black board with squares. She wrote numbers from 1 to 20 in each square and then started with alphabets. I got to see her drawing once it was complete. The number 20 was written as 02. I called her and without referring to her drawing, asked her to write the number 20 on a piece of paper. This time she wrote it correctly. I then showed her what she had written in her drawing. She blushed...but came out with an instant answer:
"The joker does not know how to write the number 20" :-)
