Miracles should be a few not many

Mom : You finished your homework without being asked ?That is a miracle !! Are you going to do this tomorrow too ?
Elvish : I wouldn’t push it…besides the charm of a miracle is only when it happens once in awhile when you least expect it

Panoramic life

One of those moments of exchange of gnan with the two of them

Mom : Sometimes our actions and  those of others change our views of life.

Tolkien : I understand what you mean .We are entitled to our perspective .What is your view of life ? (To Elvish)

Elvish : Panoramic ofcourse !

Panoramic in definition means an unbroken view of the entire surrounding ,it was enough to get me thinking how difficult it is to do yet how simple life would be if we saw things in each other perspective . 

Tomorrow brings hope to the Hopeful

In the middle of “can you please get this done ? “ arguments with my Confucius
Mom: What kind of person always says “tomorrow” ?

Elvish :  Hopeful !

I was going for a Procrastinator which I thought was perhaps more obvious to all but him !! 

Contentment conflicts

Tolkien : Elvish has trouble understanding what we mean by Dream Big ?

Elvish : Yes ,I am not sure that’s a good thing

Mom : Why ? If you dream big,you have the drive to achieve something bigger

Elvish : It seems to be conflicting the recent philosophy that you talked to us during Christmas

Mom : Uh? What did I say for you not to dream big ?

Elvish : Contentment  

Life gives you Raspberry lemonade

Elvish: Today my friend was having a rough day and I gave him a pep talk
Mom : That is awfully nice ! What did you say ?
Elvish : what you say me to me a lot ! I said sometimes life gives you lemons then just  make lemonade
Mom :Did it work ?
Elvish : He said what if it gives me Raspberry?
Mom : Oh !! So he missed the point
Elvish : No ,I explained it to him , if it gives you Raspberries make Raspberry lemonade! It tastes better too!

Pizzazz of life

Elvish :How do you explain "Life" ?
Tolkien : Mmmm I would imagine it to be like a pizza pie
Elvish : I LOVE PIZZA!! No wonder I love life !!
Tolkien : So imagine ,life is slices of a pizza .The first 5 years we learn who our parents are,to eat ,drink and move .The next ten years or so we learn to read,write,go to school and discover things so we can decide who we want to be
Elvish : Then we become who we discovered we want to be ?
Tolkien : Well kinda sorta .We think we do...we go to college and get a job etc etc in the next 15 years
Elvish : Then we are all set ?
Tolkien : Well ,then we figure out we discovered it all wrong and try to rediscover ourselves for the next 10 years
Elvish : Then ?
Tolkien : Then you are 40 and then life begins .I think that's what the old saying means

Extra ordinary -- Not

Elvish : I figured out how to go from Ordinary to Extraordinary
Mom : Cool !! That does that mean you figured out how to constantly improve yourself at something
Elvish : Yes ,at being ordinary... you keep trying hard enough to be Ordinary one day you might just be  "Extra" ordinary .Bottom line ,Be yourself and be good at it !!
