Talk for the day!
Almost every success saturday session, there's always interestings discussion while we wait for the meditation to begin. Topics can range anywhere from punishments in school to the malls in bangalore!! Todays' talk of the day was relationships - most of the kids had something to quip about their lil brother / sister / cousin etc.
I just told one of the kids that i had seen her dad with her baby sister during the recent mela that we had and that she was the cutest lil thing i ever saw and another kid joins in the conversation by saying..
Kid 1: But I never saw your baby sister
Kid 2: Oh you know there was this man, tall, with glasses, who was carrying a baby wearing so and so colored t-shirt...did u see him?
Kid 1: Oh yes!! i did..
Kid 2: Well, that baby that father was carrying was my baby sister
Kid 1: Oh
Kid 2: And do you know WHO that father was who was carrying that baby?
Kid 1 shakes his head, bewildered and obviously not making the connection
Kid 2: He's my OWN father! this is what happens if u dream too much and not look properly. You are a "dreamcock" (whatever that means!!:))

Children have this thing about my - father and my mother - since they are still - socio-psychologically - dependent - see themselves as part of their parents. As children cross 6 and 7 years - they get independent and then they see themselves as separate individuals from their parents.
If we take this into cognizance - then we can respond their sometimes funny sometimes irrational stickyness to parents!
