  • anjali pande : 10 Aug 2011 - 21:16 : Solution for any situation

    We were waiting for the pick up card, when aunty expressed that she does not get pick up card and wants to go home, need pick up card for her as well . Children replies to it with saying you stay in Geniekids, sleep here - take bed from the cupboard and sleep in the class, when aunty asked about where can she take bath, children said there is a bathroom , can have it there, then aunty asked about cloths , children said you wear the same dress don't change it. I was wondering how children was having solution for each situation, as they are saying to me "Don’t worry, There are solutions for any situations."
