The Crazy ride..!!!

           " Gowrikutti , did you go to park today ? ",  her grandma casually asked on a regular call.

I was like... Ohh Noooo !!! Why did she ask that ? Somehow park and other outside activities are out of her mind.  Now the tantrum will begin, the water works will start. I was about to tell my mother not to remind her about outside activities during this lockdown period.

  But to my surprise, the little one said,

              " Ammooma, don't go outside, Corona virus will come "

Oh... So she is aware. Good that she understands, I was relieved. But at the same time, I got a bit worried. Has the fear of this pandemic gotten into her? Even though I want her to be aware of the situation, I really don't want her to feel insecure about what is going around.

I started to think about how to make her aware of the real scenario. Suddenly I heard  a loud scream,

          " Amma... I want to go to paarrk........ "

What !!! So that's it. Where did the awareness go ? What happened to the "don't go outside", understanding little girl?

Weird, isn't it ? Yes, that's how the kids are. Aren't they?

For a moment they talk as if they are a grown up already, and the very next moment they become  the little troublemakers. It is us who take unnecessary tension most of the time, while they are simply just being the kids.
So fasten your seat belts tight, let us all enjoy this crazy ride.
