A Calvin/ Hobbes Moment


(Tara with Tiger, her most loved companion.)
An incident that happened today: Since Tara's communication skills are almost conversation-like now, I asked Tara in the morning what she wanted to take to playschool for lunch without really expecting a real answer.
"Apple aur gems," she replied confidently without batting an eyelid.
Apple and GEMS??
(Candy like chocolate M&Ms, for those unaware of the pleasures of Cadbury's Gems)
Lesson for today: Don't ask kids what they want for lunch. They won't say sprouts or nuts. Exercise your mummitarian authority and just give them those sprouts.
