I’m not a child anymore

He shouts, fights

And I too

He calms down fast

But I do not

As I’m not a child anymore

You make me so angry

Child: Mom, you make me so angry.

Mom: What happened?

Child: Always imposing controls on my cartoons..

Mom: If you had some self control,  I wouldn’t have to impose.

Child: India is a free country, don’t you know that so far?

Mom:  Pling😇

 

Someone is there with me always

The child was sleeping so peacefully with her hands resting on a pokemon teddy while her grandma had that holy book in her hand.

Can you see some irony there? Both are having their comfort objects in their hands.

Is God the teddy for grown-ups, a source of comfort or a security object?

Both are offering a kind of protective embrace, a reconstruction of faith.  For the kid it’s the teddy while it’s a version of God for adults, making them escape from some unknown fear.

Kids escape from the fear of darkness with a teddy. He assures himself “someone is there with me always”, like God for grown-ups.

A smile of momentary happiness

Little Girl                              : Aunty, You look very beautiful

Mom                                      : Oh! Sweeti, thank you so much. You are also very cute.

Son (standing nearby)       : (Laughing silently)

————

Mom                                     : Hey you fool, why were you laughing then..?

Son                                        : Ah, she was telling the same thing to every mom she met today

Mom                                     : Pling !

Momentary happiness won’t be lasting. Even then,it is so nice if you can make a smile on others face for a moment. 

Never rescue your kids from mistakes

Never rescue your kids from mistakes. If you do, they will just continue the same and never learn to improve. So in effect, parents are spoiling their kids by allowing them to commit the mistakes repeatedly. Instead have a protective eye, ensure their safety, warn them on the consequences, still if they are continuing with their mistakes,  let them do it. They will learn naturally from their consequences. And why not build up some harmless consequences, if they are not learning naturally..;)

And on the other side, if you are not enforcing those rules and disciplinary actions, kids will feel really bad, like you are not bothered on them.. So never hesitate to have disciplinary actions. So switch the mode very often.

Meet this clever papa and two innocent kids, And yes Newton also..

The little one was shouting to play pokemon cards. . . . Now Newton’s third law first! 😃 “Every action, there is equal and opposite reaction. . . !” The elder was so adamant and said : “I don’t want to play pokemon cards” Now, Newton’s first law comes into play! “…an object either remains […]

That’s not a legal move

Venue: Open FIDE Rated Chess Tournament

Time: 9:30 AM

Timers pressed. Game began.

My opponent was a little girl, not more than 10 years old.  And when the game started I noticed that she had a wrong placement of king and queen (Or something like that, I don’t remember exactly).  I thought, “Oh..this innocent kid, poor girl, why should I make her in trouble” I told her to correct it and the game restarted.

After sometime, she called the arbiter.  Did I make any mistake? My eyes scanned the entire board..no, nothing is wrong.. then what’s wrong with her..I thought.

The timer was placed on my left side, so I was moving pieces with my left hand to meet the law of pressing the timer with the same hand which made move. And as a poke-yoke, I kept a pen in my right hand too and was writing the moves in the notepad.  The cautious me, no..;)

The little girl assumed that I was playing with right hand, as it is the normal way. And when she noticed that I was pressing the timer with left hand, a bulb lighted in her head. Anyway, it didn’t take much time to make it clear for her as the arbiter was the real witness to shield me.

Another 10 or 15 moves over. I did a short castling. Again she stood up.. I scanned my board..the cycle repeated, found nothing wrong. The arbiter came and at once she said that I moved into check. Castling is only forbidden when an opponent’s piece controls a square that the king has to cross. Thanks God, I am saved this time, too. She might have got mistaken by the rules.

After a few more moves, she called the arbiter again. My heartbeats started to increase. And this time, she had a complaint about the table, that it’s not steady.. Anyway the arbiter solved this problem too…the match continued..

Please don’t ask me who win or lose the match, I give full credit to that little girl as she gave me an alternative insight to her generation.

Mom : How can I, when you are my first priority?

 

version 2:

Son   : Mom, why are you never getting tired ?

Mom :  I don’t mind being tired when you are there all around me.

Question of the day

Statistics reveals that mother is the primary care giver for more than four out of five children in a single parent family.

And why not father?

Of course biological aspects are there advantageous to a mother. But above to that why cant father create that intimacy with their kids..? (of course there are, I know. But my point is considering the total percent). 

What’s the mind block with those fathers who fail to grow up their children in a  single parent family..? Or is it all played by the law..? Or is it like he is incapable to grow his child alone..?

New Gen

Child : Why are you scolding me, mom?

Mom : Because you are crossing the limits .

Child   : Dear mom, when you scold me, I will start crying. Seeing me crying, you will feel very bad. So why do you want to make both of us worried by scolding me?

Mom  : Pling !!
