Time: Last night
Place: My bed, Flat No 203, Hyderabad
Charecters: Leena, Age 30
Kevin, Age 4
Kevin: I don't wanna go to school anymore. All the kids are saying Kattif to me.
Leena: Well, why?
Kevin: Because I beat them.
Leena: if I keep beating up all the time, will you say dost to me or Katti?
Kevin: I will say Dost.
Leena: Well, if Riya beat you all the time, will you say Dost or Katti?
Kevin: I will beat her.
Leena: (slightly exasperated voice) ken, school can be really awesome or really bad. How it is is upto you. You gotta study there for the next 13 years. You better make friends and stop beating up people. When I was at school I had lots of friends. So did your Dad. When you grow up do you wanna me like your Mum or like your dad, don;t you?
Kevin: When I become big, I wanna be like Kevin.
Case rested. What an awesome sense of individuality!!!! How did I come to possess this child? Is there an older version of this individual who is unrelated to me somewhere out there?

@ Confused not Obsessed: LOL.... Mindfuck other yes. Confuse ourselves, never. we just change our minds. A conscious decision on our part.
@ Krish: I almost forgot that one.. Yes, I so lose out all the gems of his wisdom. Thanks for reminding me of it. He's young enough to know everything, to paraphrase Wilde a bit.

@ r r: Thanks :)
Hey, great job raising a kid with an attitude like that. I hope it stays.
The story reminds me of the story with the kid who wants to eat spinach and grow up and tell mama what to do with her spinach .. :)
@summit: Ken's attitude my pride and joy. I think that's a great thing for a guy to have. And I hope it stays too. And I never tell Ken to eat spinach. I dislike spinach so we don't cook it at home.. LOL..
