My friend has twins boys. They are 3 years old. We were having a casual conversation yesterday. The twins are extremely energetic and active through the day, I sometimes wonder how she handles them through without going crazy any given day. One of them always throws tantrums and the other always climbs, jumps and do all sorts of havoc the normal 3 yrs olds creates around house.
On this particular day, the second one ('coz he was 3 mnts or so late in seeing the world) was throwing a big tantrum, screaming and crying for a toy the older twin had. Seeing this, the older twin gave the toy to this little guy. All the crying stopped. my friend, the mom was wondering about the behaviour and decided to ask the boy why he behaves in such way. Let me put it in her own words.
Mom: Why do you cry always when he has the toys?
YT: because if I cry, he always gives me the toy.
Man was I amazed at the cryptic answer!!!!! What problem solving skills this little one has? May be he will be a very successful Project Manager in future! Cute kids. God Bless them!

Oops there goes the dream :)
Our conversation this morning in the breakfast table was totally focused on...yes, you guessed it, the Obama inauguration. My son was very informed! he said Obama is going to be the first African American President and the 44th president of United States of America. Well then he asked, " Mommy why were they no African American presidents in the world?" I said , " Countries other than America, like African countries have had African American presidents." Only a thoughtful nod ensued.
The dad pitched in and asked the son, do you remember when we visited DC, we bought you a T-shirt saying "Future President?" . My boy obvoiusly had been thinking of other stuff to answer. So now here he goes "who will be the president in four years dad?" "We don't know." "In ten years?" No" In thirty years?" Here we did something, we told him in unison "May be you". i started building castles, in the air ofcourse - dreaming to be the presidential grandma, living in the whitehouse to take care of my grandchildren etc etc.. the wail "nooooooooo" from my son jolted me back. He said "I want to be a basket ball palyer, no I don't like being the president" We tried reasoning out, being the president of America is the most powerful job in the world. He simply said he wanted to be the most powerful basketball player in the leagues of Micheal Jordon and Kobe bryant. Well there goes my dream!
