Work is Worship
Baby Name: Vishal Parent's Name: Rani Gupta
Although my sister-in-law has married into a very rich family, her husband believes in standing on his own two feet. He is a bank officer with a moderate income. Her father-in-law owns a Mercedes, whereas her husband drives a fiat. One day, she jokingly told her 5 year old son, “What a lovely, big car your grandpa has. Why don’t you ask him to give it to us.” Vishal promptly replied, “Work hard and earn your own money. Do not take the easy way out.”
Chappal Pahano Nahin!
Baby Name: Parent's Name: Usha Pavan
When we were in the US, my two year old son used to play with a Hindi speaking neighbour. We are Telugu people and he picked up a few hindi words like Chappal pahano, ghumne chale, thak gaye ho??, etc etc. from his hindi speaking aunty. Once he wanted to say remove the chappals to her and didn't know what to say. So, he finally told Chappal pahano nahin!!!
A Prayer for the Hungry
Baby Name: Parent's Name: Cassandra
My sister-in-law was teaching her 2 year old son to recite ‘The Prayer to the Lord.’ He started with,
“My father, who art in heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done
On earth as it is in heaven
(so far, so good)
Give us this day, our daily biscuit (oops)
So she asked him to repeat the last line. He said, ‘Give us this day our daily bread-stick’
(oops, again!)
It was only after she had fed him, that he managed to get it right!
