It was my son's first day at nursery school, and I was a little nervous, as Rishab talks too much. After the first lesson, the teacher asked, "Does everyone understand. Raise your hands if you have a question." My little one raised his hand and asked her, "Have you had a bath?"

Our family goes for numerous short vacations by road. We all enjoy the scenic view of the long rides. Last year, we were driving to Silvasa, we encountered a specially bumpy dirt track. For about 10 minutes the car rattled and rolled in it. After this bad patch, we decided to take a short break. When we were ready to move again, my younger son cajoled, "Daddy, may we go over the bumps again."

This morning, I had to punish my daughter for talking back rudely. Later in the evening she went down to play with her friends. I had to run a few errands, so as I came down the stairs I heard her telling her friends loudly, "here comes my step-mom." I asked her why she would say a thing like that. She responded "You are standing on the steps, aren't you?"
