I was in seattle for some official meetings. Just before going to the meeting i called adi and told him that i was heading for a meeting. He says "Don't worry mommy, you just go "blah blah blah blah blah" like you do at office". I said - "are you asking me to yell at people". His reply was "Only if they do not listen to you"

This happened when i was away. Aparently Adi had this brilliant idea about using a balloon to get the cars zooming around. He wanted to tie a balloon to a car, fill the balloon with air and release it. Sen and Adi tried it and got it going in the reverse direction. Then sen told adi, it does not look like we will be able to achieve it. So Adi goes "Appa, Every problem has a solution. Why don't you try some more" ... :-) He got it from "Chota Bheem" on TV....

Adi goes to keyboard classes now. I was sure, i would have to accompany him and wait for him while he was in the class. So, i thought, i could also join the classes. So I attend keyboard classes with all these little kids. I learn Carnatic while Adi learns western. It has been good though. He competes with me for the keyboard at home :-).

Both of us are also learning Carnatic Vocal :-)

Friday, Adi wanted to have Pizza. I promised him to get it on Sat. So sat morning as soon as he wakes up, he goes "You are into this "Tomorrow Business" nowadays. Yesterday when I asked you for pizza, you said tomorrow. When I ask you today, I am sure you will say tomorrow and it will repeat again tomorrow and it will continue like this".

We were going to the keyboard classes when Adi met out neighbours son. Adi is more familiar with Uncle than his son. This boy is very fair when compared to his father. Adi suddenly goes "Oh... He is Uncle's Boss". He was right in a way. Kids are always the bosses.
