I want to be myself

Today, in the car I was generally chit chatting with Sanjiv...Then for some reason the topic of being strong and growing up came up...I asked him if he wanted to grow up like me or like his dad....Nothing in the world could prepare me for the answer that he gave....
'I want to be myself, not like you or daddy' ...........
And I am proud to hear this from him....I wish he continues to maintain his individuality.

Why your cat has two legs only ?

It seems yesterday Sanju drew a cat picture and the cat had only two legs. So his teacher was little confused and asked how many legs cat has...For that Sanjiv had replied back saying it is 4. Then she asked him why he drew only 2 legs in the picture. Without hesitation he answered back 'because the other two are behind these two legs and you can't see them'......
Today she told us this and was laughing out.....
No picture is right or wrong as long the painter can justify his art work !!!!!!!!!

Somtimes I am the reason for those tears in his eyes...But I know that if not for those tears today, he will not be the human he would like to be when he grows up.....

Traffic Signal

After crossing the traffic signal near my house, this is conversation me and Sanjiv had...

Sanjiv: Why we can't go when it is Red
Me:  Because it is dangerous
Sanjiv: Why is it dangerous ?
Me: If it is red and we go, we can get hit by the car
Sanjiv: silent for sometime
And after few seconds.
Sanjiv:  Can ambulance go in emergency while it is red?
(I thought what made him ask this)
Me: No. It still has to wait.
Sanjiv: Can fire truck go in red ?
Me: No. Nothing can go when it is in red.....

He seems to have been satisfied with the answer since there were no more cross examinations...But I am not sure of the answer I gave for last two questions...Let me google...
