Education has side effects, I came to know when I passed the words of wisdom to my son, almost a year back, but still they are hitting me back!!!!!!!!!
My son never wants to sit and study, unlike my daughter, but that day, when he came back he was in tears, he was studying life cycles in school, butterflies, frog, fishes, human etc . So when teacher taught him about humans i.e. birth, young ones, adults, old and then death. When he pasted this information on us, he realised we will also die, and he started crying. I pacified him a little and then told him, “you will not stay young, you will also grow up, my handsome smart man, and will go to big college, then office like ur dad, then you will get married, you will also have a family. Then we will be old and we will die then”. He was very unhappy, but he absorbed every word of what I said. Then there was silence, then he started “ok so as you told me now first one to go is nanaji (my grandfather) and before I could react he created a list in descending order, who all will go to heaven in which order. I told him it’s not right to speak like this but he said what’s the problem. I somehow begged at him and convinced him not to speak the list before anyone else..
After a few days, I was talking to my friend and he was playing with my friend's daughter (4 yr old) suddenly she came crying to her mother and said “mom jab main badi ho jaongi, and I will have kids, aap unki shakal Aryan ko mat dikhana”(when we will grow up, and I will have kids, don’t show their face to Aryan).. my friend was in deep shock, thinking who gave her the funda (and I was looking here and there as I was sure it was aryan’s job), but before any of us could react he replied to her “ unko bolne ka koi fayda nahin hai, they both will be dead by the time you will have kids”. My friend almost in deep shock and speechless, just went. later she told me my son’s funda is very clear. He can just handle one at a time, so has told you, mom aap nikal jaana meri shaadi se pehle....
Next shocker was a few day back, when we were sitting at a food court on a very busy night, someone asked for the chair, I had kept for my husband.. which I refused.. there was a silence, then guru Aryan started “logo mein dimag nahin hota hai, unko do bachche dikh rahe hain, it means us lady ki shaadi ho chuki hai, that means uska ek husband bhi hoga, jiske liye usne chair sambhal ke rakhi hai, still they are asking for the chair”(people don’t have brains, they can see two kids sitting, that means the lady is married, it means she has a husband, for whom she has kept the chair, still they ask for it) ... I was stunned with the application, then I dared to shot back.. I said “ noddy, its not always like that. Sometimes dad doesn’t come with us” but as already proved he is smarter “ he calmly told me “ agar papa nahin aate to aap food counter par hoti aur hum aapki chair guard kar rahe hote” (if dad is not with us, then you would be standing at the food counter and we would be guarding your chair) speechless!!
(I will miss all these funny talks once they will grow up, so putting my this precious treasure on MS, so that we can revisit after a few years and can really have some serious fun) keep smiling!!!!
