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!!
