My Child & I

It's Children's day and Mom is chatting up with the boys about Nehru-ji's love for children.
The topic moves on from the day to discipline, dreams etc.

Mom: " So, what do you dream to be when you grow up?"

First-born: "A Strong Boxing Champion!"

Mom: " Nice! But how does a boxing Champion become strong?"

First-born: "By eating healthy food and playing"

(Turning to Second-born)

Mom: What do you want to be when you grow-up?"

Second-born: "BIG!!!"

First-born (in an impatient voice) : " Not that! like a Pilot, Teacher, Farmer?"

Second-born (retaliates also in an impatient voice) : " I want to be just ME (i.e. his name) but just bigger!"

Sent a silent prayer upwards:

Please let them grow-up being themselves with just bigger limbs and even bigger hearts!

Happy Children's day!

Happy Children's Day
