In the pursuit of trying to get my son up “pleasantly” this morning , the usual formula is to engage in a conversation he loves to have. Some topics are just bound to catch on to him quickly. So this morning it was his “impeccable speed” to get things done quickly. As he slowly opened up to it, we diversified the conversation into the Hindu gods and said we need to wake up pleasantly because Lord Hanuman and Lord Ganesh visit all kids in the morning to make sure they are fast enough and smart enough for the day at school.
As he was getting more responsive and started the question session, he said
Elvish : Mom ! So is Hanuman the fastest.
Mom : Yes!!He is!! He is as fast as the wind. His dad is the God of wind . So he is awfully powerful . Isn’t that amazing?
Elvish : Mom , I think he definitely comes in every morning to my room .
Mom : I am sure he does. Is it because you are the fastest in your class ?
Elvish : Yes, I am the fastest in my class. My teacher and my soccer coach says so
Mom : Wow! That’s so interesting. How did you get so fast?
Elvish : You got to be fast .You need to run fast when the girls are after you !
He was so damn serious when he said that but I burst out laughing . His ultimate need for speed is to get away from the girls . Wonder how long that will last !
