I am a kid...so what..I know my basics!

The age 3 is I think an age of discovery for toddlers. I think, I share a special bond with kids of this age! My Aryan and my niece here. They both add a lot of joy in my life! I have spent an entire week with my niece here and needless to say she rocks! Few lessons she has taught me: Its OK to be wild at times: Her dad had gone somewhere for a while and she did not get to see many ppl around at that time. When she saw me, she jumped up and down, acted crazy and wierd. It was an amazing site to see a kid being so excited after seeing someone. [Isnt it exciting to just let your hair down for a while?] No matter how hard you work, you can take it easy on friday nights: She sleeps early every night. But somehow, she can sense its friday night and there she demands to watch "Charlie's Chocolate Factory" with the remote in her hand:O [No matter how pathetic your week was. Isnt friday night supposed to mean "An end to routine"] You want, what you want: I happened to bring Tiramisu and needless to say, I can finish it all up on my own. She insisted "Mommie, but I want a lollipop" Mommie says "But, this is nice..just have the cream". "But, I want a lollipop, mommie" Mommie says "Okie, you can have it but first finish your milk" [With the hope that she will forget it as the night proceeds]. After an hour "Mommie, now can I have my lollipop!![No matter how many nicer things come along, there are things that we cannot and should not compromise on. Or sometimes, we wish to have things that we cannot have. Or sometimes, no matter how much time passes, you dont forget things] Some questions have no answers: As soon as I used to go home, she would be on my lap. Mausi, just play with me. We played for a while. "Okie, baby, Mausi is tired. "But I am not tired". Again play for half hour. "I am tired"..the kid again says "But I am not tired" Take her on my shoulders and to her room. The kid now says "I will ask mommie to do it for me. "But, mommie can't do it, mommie has a baby". The kid says "So, why don't you have a baby":O:O [There is no point in explaining answers to someone who would probably never get it. Just smile away] A girl is aware of the concept of "Prince Charmin"even in formative years: This one is ultimate. Yesterday, she took me to her playhouse. She had two dolls. One girl whom she calls (Cinderella) and the other is (Prince Charming). So I ask her "So you call her Cinderella, do you know Cinderella story"? She says "Yes, I do" Me: Then tell me the story She: No, you tell me Me:I dont know the story. She: My mommie knows it. My daddy knows it. I know it. You don't know it??[With a puzzled look] I was zapped! [There are certain things that everyone is SUPPOSED to know] She still goes ahead and tells me the story handing the Prince Charmin (PC) in my hands and Cinderella lies with her. She gives instructions that they both should dance now. She: Ask PC to ask for Cindy's hands Me: Why are they supposed to hold hands?? She: Coz they are dancing Me:WOW. And why can't Cindy ask for PC's hands?? She: Coz she is a girl. Me:Double WOW!OK! And who is PC? She of course! was not able to answer it. But, out of so many toys she just calls him as PC. [A girl may not always know how her PC will be and why she calls him as PC. But, she knows who cannot be her PC] Kids give you an aswer that triggers a conncetion somewhere. Age sometimes doesnt matter:)
