Principia Unlogica

So, kiddo was absorbed in his book and dear dad was trying to strike up a conversation.  So, dad asks, "K, who do you think is the most beautiful woman in the world?"  K: "I think its Mommy." D: "What about the little one?" K: "I think she is 3 billionth, 499 millionth, 999 thousandth, 998th ugliest girl in the world. Get that? That means she is second most beautiful. Umm, actually that might be tough to say because there aren't exactly 7 billion people in the world, and I also read that there are more women than men in the world. Its tough to get all that correct." He goes back to reading his book. Meanwhile, I am basking in the joy of being proclaimed as the most beautiful till, Dad wonders, "K, why do you think Mommy is the most beautiful woman in the whole world?" Without looking up from the book he is reading, K responds, "That was just a hypothesis."

Little one ill and I tell her "If you lie down, your fever will get better". Naturally, she spends the whole day running about, doing everything else besides lying down while giving me periodic updates "See mommy, running didn't get me bukhar", "Jumping didn't get me bukhar" "I was playing in the yard but I am no bukhar" etc... Till she exhausts herself and lies down on the bed. I go to her and say, "Look you have more fever now". So, "I think mommy, sleeping on bed gives me bukhar".  Need to tell her experiments must be designed very carefully.  -------------  Being a nice mom, I decide to offer her warm drinks while she is ill. She enjoys the first sips of warm lemonade with "This feels really nice, I love you mommy" and then gets distracted with something else. By the time she returns to her lemonade, its cooled off. Come evening, I give her another glass of warm water to drink. She takes i

I want to remember this in my heart, always. The other day, kiddo was missing his Dadi. So he was looking at her picture. Being the geek he is, K: So, will you be with me for only 27 more years?  M: No. You cannot really say when a person will die. It could be shorter than that or much more than that. Like Nana lived for so long. So Ajoba had his Dad with him till Ajoba turned 62. So lets hope we will have very long time together. At least long enough for you to grow up and become a big person. K: So you mean we could have like 50-60 more years together? M: Yup, maybe. Kiddo seems happy. But some thought ensues and... K: Hmm... that's a very long time. If you look at it like this, it is a very long time. But I think that when we are on our last day, we will feel like we have hardly had enough time together.
