Khushi's dose of the day!! (28th July 2013)

One fine day, while travelling in the car Khushi declared...
Khushi: Mummy, why dont you become a homemaker?
Mummy: HOMEMAKER?? What is your definition of a homemaker?? Do you know whats a homemaker?
Khushi: Yes, Homemaker is the one who stays at home all the time and never goes out of the house.
Mummy: Do we have any homemaker at home?
Kkhushi: Yes Avani is there, she stays at home all the time!
Mummy: Ok..so if Mummy becomes a homemaker n stays at home, who will visit your school? Who will take u out for having fun? Who will shop for you? Who will go to park with you? Who will take u to extra.curricular classes? And most importantly, Who will take u to brithday parties? So do you want a homemaker who stays home or this Mummy??
Without a second thought she replied,,,
Khushi: This MUMMY!!

Today the definition of housewife or homemaker has changed soo much that we need a special category of full timing home employeed mothers now!! What say Supermoms??

Khushi's dose of the day!!(28th July.2013)

Khushi and I were having a Man to Man....sorryy.....Girl to girl discussion on a Sunday morning in kids room. Along with talking to me ,she was busy playing with her toys near the balcony. Then I insisted her on singing with me on our favorite family song. She started with "Phoolon kaa Taaron ka"... with a loud voice. Then suddenly her voice suppressed...
Mummy: khushi sing louder ...I cant hear you!!
Khushi: I can't!
Mummy: Why? Why cant you?
Khushi: Mummy,there is one uncle standing down who is speaking over the phone. So if I sing louder he would get disturbed by my loud voice. Hence I am singing softly!!
(For those who dont know, we stay on the first floor of our building.)

I was impressed that my 4 yr old has so much civic sense of speaking softly when somebody else is on phone. Wish the people speaking loudly on phone, smoking, spitting, littering on public places get a little inspired by this little generation of our kids.Wish the awareness lessons these kids get in their schools were taught to our generation also. We would have been a better lot then!!

Khushi's dose of the day!! (28th July.2013)

I was putting Mehendi in my hair today morning. Khushi was making all kinds of faces and knotting her nose because of the smell. To convince her that its not that bad and very good for hair I told her that with Mehandi her hair will grow long and beautiful. She didnt find it very appealing and continued her nakharas.
After sometime unknowingly she touched mehandi with her finger and showed her finger to me.
Khushi: Mummy see...mehandi on my finger
Mummy: See its not that bad!!
Khushi: Yeh..so now my finger will grow long faster.
I scratched my head for sometime and then replied
Mummy: Khushi...mehandi will not make ur finger long. It will work only for your hair and not your finger

How do I explain her that Ace is an Ace and Spade is a Spade :p

Khushi's dose of the day! !( 20th july 2013)

Khushi had BUDDY DAY in school today. Parents were supposed to drop them and one of their buddy to school.So we started from home. The last 200 mts of her school's approach road is full of crater size potholes and the rain has made it worse. So as usual I started cribbing about the pathetic road and complaining about the pain it causes everytime I come here
Mummy: Oh God, what a pain. When will they repair this road. (Sob)(sob)
Khushi started laughing and jumping with each pot hole. Both the kids started enjoying the bumpy ride and were having fun as if it was a roller coaster bumpy ride.
I was surprised to see how well both the kids changed a grim situation into a fun situation. I just keep on preaching about positive thinking to my kids, but today they have actually taught me the meaning of positive thinking without any long lectures. Perspective of life!!!
