These days my son has started talking about lot of stuffs non-stop that I am not able to keep with him to record every bit of it.
- Once while he was talking big on shapes and their differences, I tried to pick his brain a bit. "What is the difference between a square and a rectangle ?". I was eagerly waiting how he is going to tackle the concepts of length and breadth. With an elaborate hand gesture resembling the fours sides, he went "For a rectangle, THIS is big, THIS is small, THIS is big, THIS is small". Point driven across. ! Peace.
- Our kid is attracted to stuffs which sometimes makes us - as parents - worry about the future. His attention-grabbers at one point were - (drums roll !!) - dump truck and fishes (cymbal tone !!). Obviously concerned, me and wife tried to implore upon him the concept of doing great jobs that earn you more money etc etc. My wife even went to the extent of quoting me (of all people) and my engineering profession to drive home her point. Praying deeply that he got the message, my wife asked "So tell me what you want to be when you grow up". After a moment's pause came the reply - "An Engineer who goes Fishing in a Dump Truck" !!!
- Once I got a doubt if my son is aware that he has a middle name (my name apparently. So I asked him. He was hearing the term "middle name" for the first time I guess. Without missing a beat, he improvised "ANJAY". He removed the starting "S" from his first name and made everything else his middle name. Now how the googly feels !!
