Kid-know-sis

At the dinner table , after fighting a brutal storm the whole day..Tolkien telling us about the pandemonium at school in the morning

Tolkien : It was crazy in the hallways this morning ,but guess what Jade made it in without a raindrop on her.
Mom : wow ! how did she manage that ?
Tolkien : She made in through the kindergarten entrance and I got my backpack wet and had a puddle inside my shoes ..Hmpphh
Trying to ease the mood ..
Mom : Guess what I was soaked to the bone.
Tolkien suddenly feeling sorry for me ,
Tolkien : I hope you changed before you got to work.. Too bad mommy !!
Elvish : I am sure she did,else she will catch the " ammonia" like last year ..

My little Doogie Howser meant ' pneumonia ' .

Choice Voice

One of those days when your kid you knows you can be an idiot too…



Breakfast battle this morning as I prepared to get on a early meeting call..

Mom : What do you want for breakfast ?

Elvish : I am not sure

Mom : You got a few minutes to think and tell me

Elvish : Moan

After a few minutes ,

Mom : Have you decided ?

Elvish : I am still not sure

Mom : I am getting late, you have one choice

Elvish looking confused

I realized I said something stupid right then ,but …

Tolkien : When you have one choice ,then you have none at all Mom ?



Thank you !! I raised some brilliance accidentally

Stick thy word

One of those really nice and rare mornings where everybody is at breakfast before I walk out of mind .
Tolkien says "Mom tell me a quote "
Mom : " mmm let me think .Be impeccable with your word . "
Elvish gulping his cereal down
" Which one ? "

Sure let us stick to it literally first ;)
