I find it very difficult to make my son go to sleep. Last night, to make him go to sleep, I started with a story, "Once upon a time...", secretly watching him to see whether he had fallen asleep or not. after 20 minutes I could see that he had gone to sleep. In a soft low tone I closed the story by saying, "They lived happily ever after". Then, there was voice, "OK, now, tell me another story dad"; MY SON'S VOICE!
I have no clue if my son is taking the right approach to study English alphabet. Last evening I asked him to repeat the alphabet; he goes in reverse alphabetical order, “Z-Y-X….”
By keeping superficial incidents, my 4 year old son has concluded that my office is the best place to work. Recently, the company I work had organized an "Open House" event where the employees can bring their families to the workplace. Fun games, activities, and delicious snacks were arranged for the families. As my son was enjoying the evening he said, "Dad, when I grow up, I'd like work for this company along with you because it is so much fun. You have exciting games and activities." He thinks this is what I do everyday.
Celebration differs from person to person. After hearing so much of bursting of crackers on diwali, my 3 year old son was little confused about what is happening in the world. He asked, 'why are people bursting crackers?' i, 'they are celebrating', he, 'that means, they don't have to go to school anymore and have as many chocolates they want?'
Does feelings differ between adults and children? My child 3 year old son doesn’t feel the way I feel. For instance, my son doesn’t get the kind of body reaction I get when he runs his fingernails down a chalkboard. Krrrkkrrkkrrr! And he does this with an animated smile to irritate me!
For my two year old son(Sushrith), "s" is refusing to enter his tongue. He says "k" instead of "s". He calls his mom "kowmi" instead of "sowmi". I want him to say "she sells sea shells on the sea shore", guess what he says "khe kells kea khells...." and I requekt my fakebook friendk not to publikike thik pleak. I hope that kukrith will improve koon
I hope some of my 3 year old son's negotiation techniques work with my boss too. For instance, last evening, in the super market, my son, 'Dad, buy me that chocolate, otherwise I will scream and gather the crowd'; I bought him a chocolate without saying a word. So, I should go to my boss and say, 'Boss give me a promotion, otherwise I will scream in the office and gather the crowd'
I jumped out of the chair with surprise, when I heard this weird fact; "Elephants are the only animals that can't jump.
I know where to look for, if I lose something at home. Last evening, I was searching the electricity bill of this month. After 10 minutes of search I found that it has been chewed by my second son(10-month old). Now I realize why some small parts like pen caps, broken toy car tyres, and safety pins disappear from home.
I lead a disciplined work life but not a disciplined house life. At work, I send customer reports on time, reply every business mail promptly, be punctual in almost all office meetings, take responsibility of all the office tasks assigned to me, keep my desk neat and tidy. At home, I am lazy to even refill the ice tray.
I learnt that I should never blow a bubble gum in front of my 2 year old son. He has this overwhelming desire to reach out and pop the gigantic gum bubble billowing from your mouth. I got a punch from him last evening when I tried blowing the bubble gum.
I learnt that i should never take my 3 year old son for a walk after rain. Last evening, after a heavy rain, i took him for a walk, and he jumped on every pot hole of stagnant rain water on the street, splashed water on the street dogs, looked at me and said, 'doesn't want to join with me in the water game?'
I like my son's aspirations but his intentions behind the aspirations are kiddish. Last evening, I, "Son, what you want to become when you grow up?", He, "A doctor or an engineer", I, "And then?, He, "Earn more money", I, "Ok, what will you do with that money?" He, "Buy more toy cars"
