Pihu teaches logical reasoning to Daddy
Pihu: Daddy, what come after night?
Daddy (thinks for a while): I guess, day, right?
Pihu: Good job daddy. Then what comes after day?
Daddy (is now not so sure where this discussion is leading to....): I guess, night, right?
Pihu (has a smirk on her face now): No.
Daddy: Please explain, if that is not so.
Pihu: Day starts with morning, afternoon, evening, and then night.
Daddy is stumped, has to acknowledge this fact, and takes this as a learning experience not to take a 3 1/2 year old at face value.

Pihu's first school uniform: Daddy's version
Guess this is it.
The small baby I used to carry in my arms, is ready to fly.
While Pihu is away to her grandparents' for a brief vacation, I was handed over the onerous task of going to her school and collecting her books and uniform...
So, here I was, anxious to find out the batch timings/section. So much that I ended up at the school at 7 am in the morning, all sweaty after the morning workout. The guard there gave me a queer look, but I plodded on to check the noticeboard... reminded me of the good 'ol days when school results were put on the notice boards!
Found her name in the Junior KG/ Afternoon/ 'F" batch and was overjoyed to see Sia's name next to her. Sia Goodgirl (alias Sia Duggal- Pihu likes to call her by that name) is in the same batch!! Yippee!!
Another good news is that the hunk 'A' is not in the same batch. Yippee!!
Am I glad or am I glad!!!
Later in the day, I again pay a visit to the school and stroll up to the uniform counter, along with one of Pihu's frocks.
This is what she will wear to school. Sigh.
Then I go to the books counter, where I am given a set of books. Cute books but nothing compared to what she is reading nowadays, like basic concepts of addition, big/small/greater than >/ smaller than <
Pihu starts school on 10 June.
Please wish her luck.
