Recently I was at a wedding in Mahabaleshwar. One of my
cousins’, left her 2 year old son back at home in Nagpur. She left her saying shez
going to doctor.
Then, in Mahabaleshwar she called her son. Her son, asked
her sweetly
Son : Mumma, itne din thode hi koi rehta hai doctor k pass?
Mom: Hmm beta, rehta hai … kabhi kabhi. Doc bada injection
de raha hai na .
Son: Ooh toh aap ro rahe ho? Doc ne inji di toh
Mom: Haan, mein ro rahi hu … :(
Son: Mumma aap pls matt rooo na … nai toh mein bhi ro dunga (and
immediately started crying)
With this I was smiling and sad ( :) :( )both
at the same time.
Later I told my sis, why did u tell him that you are crying,
the poor baby is now crying for u there. For this she said, “ if I had not told
him that I had taken an injection and m not crying he would have said, “Mumma,
aap jhoot bol rahe ho..aap gaye hi nai doc k pass”.
I could not say anything more to my sis after that. I found
myself just wondering and smiling about the thoughtfulness of my lil nephew. I
felt like hugging my nephew then n there :)
What amazed even more was, who teaches these tots this thought
process :)
and still they are so logical!
