Pihu teaches logical reasoning to Daddy

One fine evening, Pihu is cozily sitting with Daddy, watching her favourite TV show on CeeBeebies. She suddenly turns around to face daddy and asks...

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.
