A for Apple, B for boy, C for...

The little one came back from school. As usual she had a couple of sheets of her workbook exercises in her bag.

One of them had four pictures on each page and a row of three alphabets next to the pictures. She had to circle the starting alphabet for what was in the picture.

She had circled the 'c' for carrot etc. etc. and there was one mistake..

There was a picture of a bunch of potatos and she circled 'a' instead of the small 'p'.

Me : Why did you circle 'a' for this one?
LO : I circled 'a' for AALOO silly! but they said it was wrong.

the way she said "it was wrong", shaking her head from side to side was just amazing! Have seen kids who refuse to call a Tomato a "thakkali" at home, because it is not what their school teachers call it.

The little one is different.

A for aaloooo!

What can I say...

two + rendu = chaar and so on!

LOL! Sundar... this, reminds me my brother's 50 paise episode...He was asked to bring 50p by his teacher for class pooja and she has said "Five pottu zero potirukum". He was in LKG that time. Unfortunately my mom didnt have 50p exact and she gave him two 25p. He didnt accept and however we tried to explain, nothing worked and started saying 'ne emathara enna' and as luck would have it, none of our neighbours had exact 50p(it was 25 yrs ago!!) He didnt believe any thing, until his teacher said 2x25 or 5x10 or 50 are the same!!
