Farm trip

You went to a farm from school today on bus route no.11.

You saw a mama duck and a baby duck. the duck wore boots or goggles....like goggles you thought. You meant webbed feet.

You saw a goat tied up to a tree. It had a moustache.

You had a juice which melted on its way home. and yes you saw a green and white turtle like a fish.

The animals are sad, I said. As they are tied up. No, you said, the animals are happy. if you don't tie them up, the animals will run away.

I said you are cute. You said, was amma a cute baby?

You will grow up and leave the nest, won't you? Your eyes, those baby eyes of freedom and ignorance and innocence, they will narrow and thin and search for meaning. I will miss you.

Ant in the potty

I should use my vid camera more....yes boys I have one and you will ask me some day why I didn't use it. Well I guess I am lazy and your dad has a photographic memory.

Growl:Does ant do soo-soo?

Me:I don't kno.

Growl:It can't do. It will fall in the potty.

Grampa found all that funny. He talked about telling a cowherd boy how he believed that one could touch the sky from a hill.

------------
Grampa scolds you.

Peanut: Be quiet. I will take him and him and him out. You stay at home alone and cry by yourself.

Your report cards seem to imply that Growl is getting used to school and Peanut obviously is more into having fun. LKG report card.....first term. Your dad had nothing to ask. I seemed worried to your teacher but I'm not really....You fill me with pride and make me laugh.
