How to Select

She {to a calmer Kiddo}: Who else will help her select a good friend? She is incapable of deciding what dress to wear all by herself. Have you seen the kind of dress she wears when you are not there to help her with? She cannot even pick the right pair of clothes. How is she going to decide on her friend? Do you think she can do it all by herself?
Kiddo {wiping away her tears}: No.
She : Exactly my point!

And... I go Pling!!!!! @@
Desp! Desp! Desp!

No Kind Ones

Kiddo : Maybe when you meet your friend
Me {still engrossed in whatever I was doing}: Which friend?
Kiddo {with a disappointed tone}: Uff! Oooh! Your Friend... The Treaty one!!
Me {LOL when I finally made the connection} : Kiddo... There are no treaty friend.
Kiddo : Yaa... Its only when you meet your friend
Me {After a long pause}: Why don't you search for one?
Kiddo {getting into her thinking mode}: But then... I should find someone who is not kind. Otherwise he will get scared when he watches you scolding me.

Me... Well... I still haven't recovered from this!! @@

Treaty

Treaty Continued...

She {in a matter of fact tone}: You know what my brother used to do before we left for our native during summer vacations?
Kiddo {teary eyed, but curious}: No
She {continuing in that tone}: He used to draw up a treaty. Our parents would get us 2 sets of toys so that we would not fight over toys once we are in our native. But, I am me. I would still play with his. He never liked that. So... Before we left... He used to draw a treaty... It used to list who all owned which all toys. He would also include a penalty.
Kiddo {
wiping her tears}: Penalty?
She : Yes... Penalty... If I played with his toy, I would have to do something for him in return. If I destroyed his toy, I will have to give him one of mine.
She {Pausing for a moment for Kiddo to consume it}: Shall we draw up a treaty? A treaty between you & your Amma?
Kiddo {without even hesitating}: Yes!
