I've mentioned the perils of the over-use of the Queen's English before. Don't know what it is about big words that draws the young ones in. The issue seems even more complex when you think of the energy you've putting in to crack C-A-T - Cat, M-A-T - Mat, B-A-T - Bat.
One day, after Dhruv had finished his fist fight with Aneesha and left an awful scratch on her shoulder, I told him:
Dhruv I am disappointed.
That was just the kind of word he needed for the day.
Everyone he met, heard it a couple of times, if not more:
Aneesha, I am disappointed.
Masi, I am disappointed.
Nani, I am disappointed.
Manju, I am disappointed.
Mamma, I am disappointed.
Rickshaw wallah, I am disappointed.
Bobby, I am disappointed.
There's got to be something about Ds.

Children, it's been said, help us grow. We sure have through ours. There have been moments - trying as well as testing, but those impish smiles have always won us over. We fear we shall lose these moments, these proverbial rites of passage as the years go by. So here's a little something that will help us celebrate the life they have given us. We wouldn't want it any other way.
