Assigning work to his teacher

Vaibhav was just day two in school in standard I. Karthik and Vaibhav leave at different timings. Unfortunately Karthik left his diary. So I sent it via Vaibhav, asking him to give it to his brother. Vaibhav was already calculating that he had to climb two floors and he wouldn't have time. But, I convinced him to take and give it to his brother. When they came back, I asked Vaibhav if he went and gave the diary to Karthik. He replied that his aunty did that job for him. It seems, he went to his class teacher with the diary, and told her that "This diary is my brother's. He left it at home. He is in 3rd C. Can you please give it to him". Amazing how he gets his work done.

Other tit bits
May 2021
Due to lockdown, I had gained weight majorly on my tummy. Vaibhav was persistently telling me to lose weight, since it looked like I am pregnant and I have a baby inside me.  He would push me to exercise or go for walk. I began daily walking. I was looking at myself in the mirror, when Vaibhav walked in and said "Ninu awalpa sanna aag iidhiya.. adhre goth aagodilla" (You have lost weight a bit, but it can't be made out"

In his class there was EVS test.
They asked him to write:
Name who is the favorite person in your family?
What is their hobby?
So for first one he wrote as "Vaibhav" and for second one he wrote it as "Cooking". Teacher put a question mark for the first question.
I asked him why he did that, he replied innocently that "I am a family member too"

Vaibhav loves butter. Whenever my mother in law visits us she gets butter for him. He is super happy. After a couple of days, my mother in law told him that she will be returning. Vaibhav thought over for a while and then asked innocently "ninu benne nu thagondu hoogthiya" (will u take back the butter".

Vaibhav was in 1st Standard. The class teacher makes one child a prefect for a week. It was 3 months or more into school, but his teacher didn't pick him as a prefect. So, almost everyday he would go and ask his madam to make him a prefect. After a couple of days she got annoyed. So, she warned him that if he asks her again, he will never make him a prefect. So, he stayed quiet for a week. Then he went to his madam and told that the current prefect has been prefect since long and she needs to be changed. His madam gave up and made him prefect the following week.

Raj got Horlicks for the kids. So Vaibhav said this is kids horlicks, there is mother's horlicks too. But why there isnt father's horlicks.



What will Vaibhav become?

Pizza boy - he will make pizza
mechanical engineer - he will repair all house hold things
Dance Teacher - He will teach kids to dance
Business man - He will start icecream and juice shop

Don't get a sister

Raj's cousin got a baby girl. I showed Vaibhav and Karthik the baby girls photo and told them it is their sister. I asked them if we should bring a sister. She could play with them and they could take care of her. Vaibhav made a face, thought over and then said, "Don't bring any sister. We are already two kids here." I replied, "so what we can have another baby, she will be cute and nice.". Vaibhav then told "Don't bring any sister, when I grow up I will get a baby. I will give that to you, you can care for it and play with it.". I couldn't stop laughing for hours. 

Naughty Vaibhav

We had a dark brown sandel soap and a regular brown sandal soap for bath in the bathroom. Karthik and Vaibhav both wanted the light coloured sandal soap for some reason. Vaibhav didn't want to share it. So, the previous evening he took the light coloured sandal soap and hid behind the bucket. Next day morning when Raj took both the kids for bathing, Karthik demanded the light colour soap. Raj looked for it everywhere, asked me and asked the kids but the soap was not to be found. Vaibhav stood quiet all the while. Once Karthik soap part was done and Vaibhav soaping was to start,Vaibhav innocently puts his hand behind the bucket and pulls out the light coloured soap.
Raj and me were immensely amused but hid out amusement to avoid any anger out breaks from Karthik or Vaibhav.

(2019) I got new shorts for Karthik and Vaibhav. Vaibhav would hide away all new shorts behind other clothes. He wouldn't arrange his clothes for school till Karthik would do. Once Karthik is done, he would pull out the new shorts to wear to school. 

Do you know AdhiTala

Vaibhav came from school and he immediately asked me "Amma ninage adi thala alli estu beats antha gotha? "  

Some achievement in mycity4kids

I began to blog on mycity4kids.com as a mother. I wrote about a child abuse incident that happened in my apartment. I wanted to create awareness and also let people know that there are organisations that support parents in such situations. But least expected it to be the trending blog with more than 6lac views in span of two days. The article had 2k shares and 1.5k likes on facebook.

In some conversation I was talking about thieves to Vaibhav. So, Vaibhav suddenly said, "amma, when thieves comes next time, you throw laddus at me. I will eat laddus and do disoom dishoom to theives and they will run away". All in chota bheem style!!
