Sparkling or Sweaty

We sent Mira for a gym camp for the school holidays.When she came home the first day, i asked how many kids in her class. She replied," There was 1 girl who was sweating all the time. You know how i know?". I asked," How Mira?" She replied," She was sparkly and shiny the entire time!!"

LOL... Kids

Life and death

At what age do kids understand about life and death? Is 4 years to early?
The reason I'm asking this is sometime a month ago, Mira woke up at 4 am and asked me where are asteroids and will they come to earth. I told her to go back to sleep and will explain in the morning. After explaining the following day that asteroids are out side earth, she took it fine but I guess it was still on her mind. The following night before bed she was crying saying asteroids might come to earth. We calmed her and after a few days later, she asked few questions.
1. If asteroids were to come to earth, will they hit land , our house or sea.
( My response:IF it does come, it won't hit our house. We are safe. Might land in the sea far far away.)
2. If it landed in the sea, won't  the water splash on us and something might happen to us?( Oops! Yeah but just a splash🤐)
3. Can God see the asteroids coming to earth?( Hmm . Yeah he can)
4. Then why doesn't He stop it?( She's asking me questions on God at 4!! My response was He will stop it from hurting us.. phew)
5. Why can't I see God?( Well luckybi thought about the analogy of how we breathe air but can't see it, but know it's there.)

So my question is - how does this 4 year old wonder so in depth of the Big Picture. Has she time traveled to past or future?

On the same note, my dad showed her a video clip of tsunami in Japan yesterday. After a few hours, my mom found her sobbing thinking about it. Hmmm....

About delegation of power

While I was sitting at the laptop doing banking work, my 4 year old Mira walks up and says , " Amma, can I have some skittles? "
As default , I blurted out, " please check with Appa first", lot looking up from the laptop. From the back I hear her mumbling, " But why amma, you are the mother. You should know".

Crap.

I got up , went to the fridge door and tried finding it. With glee  , she stood beside me and said, " Amma, did you forget you were a adult? You are not becoming a kid to ask Appa permission as well"

Some lessons from kids to remind us , that they do look up to adults to make decisions...

The innocence of kids no matter how old

Saisha turned 11 last month. Becoming 11 for us is like she is going on 18. She has shown maturity, become more teen, stopped playing with toys and loves her own music world. So you can imagine what a shock i got on the morning she turned 11 when she asked," Will i be getting my Hogwarts letter today?"

Lol!!

Poop Paint

This is the conversation when Mira was in the toilet pooping..

Mira ( looking inside) : Amma, come and see the art. Its amazing and interesting...
Me : No, i'm not going to look.
Mira : No, Amma. Its real art . Come and see. Next time we can bring paint brush and paint with it.

Urghhhhh!
