Last night I was narrating a bed time story to cantaloupe. I was narrating the “Grapes are sour story”
Me: There was a fox who was hungry… found grapes …… etc etc …. And then the fox jumped, jumped again and jumped again but had no success … finally the fox decided that the grapes are sour and went away.
Me(to myself): I must add some moral to this story …. Hmm … ok
Me(to Cantaloupe): So you know, you must never give up like the fox … you must keep trying, anything you cannot get is not sour really.
Got it?
Cantaloupe: Oh yeah amma
Me(so proud of her): So what did you understand?
Cantaloupe: I will keep jumping in the class !!!! I will never give up, no matter what !!
Me: WHAT ????????

Simply hilarious!!! :D
The interpretations that these kids take out of our statements is amazing.
@nm: I was actually dumb struck ... did not expect that answer at all ... I tried hard to control my laughter.(laughing may give her the impression that she is right)
Really Funny...I hope her teacher did not call you today..
LOL!
LOL! you've now taught her a life lesson ;) smart Cantaloupe!
@aryan's mom: It was a long weekend here ... gave me extra time to drill down cantaloupe ... poor baby
@rdbans / kodi's mom: Not sure whether Cantaloupe learnt a life lesson or not ... I sure did. I am going to be very careful with my choice of stories and the MORALS :)
Loved it...so crazy funny! :) Because it is so unexpected! Tooo cute!
These kids are super smart arent they, they catch onto the nuances that they're not meant to and coolly ignore what we are trying to get into their heads...LOL.
