- While driving one day, me and my wife were rambling about this year's Academy Awards (Oscars) in general, and in particular about how A. R. Rehman was given two Oscars for a score which we felt is definitely not his best and there are a lot more of his scores that were more deserving. Our young man in the back seat was listening intently and the words "two Oscars" caught his attention. He also felt like contributing to the discussion - "Daddy, there is one Oscar in my school as well".
[The following one was told to me by my kid's preschool principal]
- My kid moved from lower Preschool (2yr olds) to Upper Preschool (3yr olds) recently. Most of his classmates are those who moved with from the lower to the upper one. Apparently a new 3yr old had joined his class recently and being to a new school/class, the new kid used to cry a lot almost daily it seems. Our youngman noticed that it was only this new kid thats crying and decided to do the needful. He told his principal, when they crossed paths, that the new kid is crying a lot. The principal, true to her tutelage instincts, decided to make our son see the point. Rhetorically she answered, "Do you remember what you did initially when you joined lower preschool last year ?". Prompt answer came- "I cried a lot". Principal, almost smelling success, "see, you cried a lot like him too..". Before she could finish, came the googly -"But I only cried in a Lower Preschool class". Well what can you say, its going to take bit more explaining. When the principal relayed this story to me, she ended with a note -"Thats a statement to keep and relish". Amen.
The pic for today's post shows a sunflower that we grew at our home - from seed level - gave a great level of satisfaction on seeing this at full bloom.
