Penguin

Kiddo {Drinking in every bit of what she was seeing}: Amma... Can you take a picture? With me in it?
Me : But... Its dark in here... Nothing will be seen... You know that even on a bright sunny day, the pictures clicked on this phone are not good enough
Kiddo {Turns back... watching them play again... and completely lost} : It is okay... I will know that it is me in there.

After I oblige, she turns back... spends some more time watching them... and finally when she is completely done... says... more to herself than me...
"I have nothing more............"

As a mother this was a special moment... Observing her... The moment Kiddo learnt that there are Penguins in the Sea Life, she wanted to watch them. I think the credit goes to the marine biologist she was talking to.... his excitement... Anywayz... That took us to the Penguins. And I could see Kiddo cutting herself off from everything that was happening around & just living her experience.

She was struggling to speak... Maybe she just didn't want to speak... As if, speaking would break the bond she had established there... She had that content look...

:-)

Now back to the reality... for the next time... Learn to be content with things that are not so expensive :-P But have to mention... That 77 GBP I spent on the entry tickets... Sooooo worth that 10mins of silence... ;-) hee hee... Mmmmmmmmuah! 

Classic Trick

He {My TTC instructor to Kiddo} : Who are you?
Kiddo {Shrugs & points to me}: Her daughter!
He {With his Krishna smile}: Is that your identity? Her daughter?

Of course!! I was wearing my evil grin.

This is the standard trick question. I am yet to find a person who answers this question with all the clarity.

But then.... Who am I?????????????????

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!! @@
