Think or sink!

Two African Americans pushed our wheel chairs
after wishing us Namaste with big grins!

They said I must be a doctor!!! :thumb:

May be because I looked like one (???)
or because I was wearing a white kameez over the black pant(???)

Nowadays anybody can become a doctor!

If DEVI puts this seed in the mind of the right person
it may grow up real fast and bear fruits very soon!

Devi can make anything happen!!! Right???

Where we landed past midnight,
only one Samson (with a clean shaved head)
was available for pushing the wheel chairs.

He was real strong and well mannered.

He pushed two chairs at a time
with great ease and smooth maneuvering.

He did it in the style of hitch hiking.

I was reminded of the classic example of Tiruppathi mottai
where a part of the hair is removed and
the person has to stay back to get the job finished later.
 
F56. Hitch-hike




The term originated in America in the 19th century, to describe how two people could travel with only one horse.

One person rode ahead to an allotted distance.He hitched the horse to a tree and continued on foot.

When the second person reached the horse he rode on it till he overtook his companion.

This sequence was repeated till they reached their destination.

If we hitch hike now, the horse, saddle,

the reins and the tree will be together missing! :(
 
The little girl of our neighbors is an angel and an abominable by turns.

I told her that she should be consistently good always

and so very inconsistent in her goodness.

I was wondering whether the little one understood such complicated words.

She had understood alright and it was my turn to get confused when she replied

"Well, even my mom is not consistently good always!" :wacko:
 
Children love trash cans - even before they can pronounce their colors correctly.

So it is either the Boo trash (Blue trash) or

the Geen trash (Green trash) all day long on Mondays!!!

Monday is the day trashes are taken away.
 
Tejas is super clean and super organized.

Anything not stored in its place goes to the trash can.

He can also operate the shredder by himself.

So we make sure all our things are inside the wardrobe or our suitcases.

But thankfully he confirms whether it trash before

he tosses them away or shreds them to a confetti. :roll:
 
We don't waste space anywhere.

In India, whatever does not find place on the floor

goes up to the walls, door latches and other handles.

Here the furniture has golden spirals at the extremities.

So each of us hang what we use most at the back of our chairs.

People are said to live in suitcases. We can also live on hooks! :rolleyes:

Varun insists that his high chair has his cute paper bag hung from it.

His bag contains the most valuable items according to him...

a bunch of colorful chalks! :)
 
Varun loves looking at the pictures of Baby Krishna!
There are hundreds of images in the Internet.
So our favorite past time now is
looking at Krishna of all ages and
in all stages and doing all pranks.
 
The most favorite item on the agenda of a child

seems to be dancing on the bed! :dance:

They jump, run around, do thattaamaalai and

every possible loottee on it - braving the fall
and bump bump and giving us the creep all the time!!! :scared:
 
LICE HUNTING!!!

The latest craze in USA is the anti-lice movement

started at the grass-root level from the play school onwards.

Teenagers and adults spread lice while taking selfie!

Toddlers do it while hugging or napping together.

I am amazed that the all powerful USA can't get rid of the simple lice.

Is it because all their sophisticated arms are useless against this micro mini rhinoceros???? :rolleyes:
 
LIES VS LICE!!!

LIES won't help you get past the inspection squad. :suspicious:

The inspection is done so thoroughly in the scalp of the kids that

the only way I can explain it in Tamil is by using the expression

pirichchu mEyarthu!!! :rolleyes:

During my previous visit when an army of Ants colonized the stove and the sink

(in spite of fire and water being their two natural enemies!!!) :flame:

my little JUJU believed that I had smuggled them in my suit case from India.

This time she can't believe that I brought lice from India since

my hair is so white and so thin that the lice will get fed up

with the very idea of living in this white field. :bolt:
 
When one of the doting parents has to leave the kids

on a short trip due to unavoidable circumstances

the tiny tots feel lonely and forsaken and

their mutual bonding increases surprisingly.

They behave in a more mature way

and seems to understand what we say.

But once the parent is back again

everything goes back to NORMAL.

They compete for attention, care, love, time

and the sibling rivalry is in full swing once again!!! :shocked:
 
Children are like sponges.

They can expand infinitely and soak up

all the available energy, time and patience of

all the available adults in the household.

In Tamil my real-life-bro fondly calls it as

Naalu perukkuth thaNNI kaattaRathu!!! :rolleyes:
 
And there is the little girl whose

play school friends are two boys.

She likes the twins best of all.

She has personal preference for

one of them over the other twin.

While the rest of us can't tell them apart

even by looking at them from the front,

this cutie pie can tell them apart

even by looking at their back sides.

Isn't the back side supposed to be

the "same same" for everyone??? :rolleyes:
 
Potato chips ARE addictive. Have no doubts!!! :high5:

My grand kids are brought up like Rushyasrungar

unaware of the very existence of

the sweet, salty, spicy and sticky food stuffs.

When Lays chips made entry into the house

to cater for the taste buds of the grandpa

the children kept asking for long for a single chip.

Now they want ONLY the potato chips and :Cry:

not the baked multi-grain healhy-type of chips any more. :bolt:
 
Kids have mazing language skills.
Varun who will turn two years of age in Mid May
can speak four different languages already.
And the most amzng thing is that he does not mix them up.
He speaks Chines with his mother, Tamil with his father and us,
English with JUJU and her friends and
Malay withe the maid back in the other paatti's house. WOW!!!
 
JUJU is like me in many ways.
We are born rebels (!) :rolleyes:
We are not unlawful though. :nono:
She learns new words everyday.
When she does not understand a word
she remembers it and asks for its meaning.
It was 'official' on the day of the inspection.
It was 'master piece' yesterday.
I am sure she will learn another new word
today and also more everyday :thumb:
