Ringing around the buzz words

Ringing around the buzz words


.com and internet are buzz words with my little boy. He wants to search internet for Cake recipes and passionate about cooking.

Abhinav got his first watch this weekend. He did the selection by himself. He finalised a red watch with Spiderman dial amidst my repeated distractions and temptations .We did not realise that it flashes light until we got back home. He was all excited about it until he discovered a small owner's manual with the Disney logo.
Somehow, that disturbed him, " When did Spiderman become a Disney guy?". Looks like the question was constantly nagging him that he kept asking that same question to my mother who called from India, his dad after he came back home and repeatedly to me. I was happy about two things apart from his observation

• the aspect that he could not digest or accept against the thing he had already believed deeply.
• the point that he kept nagging and was disturbed until he got a promising answer to it.

Finally, I had to breakdown the complex terms like acquisition to buying and further simper explanations. Adding to his existing confusions, there was this MARVEL logo in the package too. It took around three to four rounds of explanation before he seemed convinced.

The Best part of it is when he asked, "How did you come to know this?" Love you my boy!!
Then I had to explain that I had the same doubt when Divya aunty shared the same information with me that they went to Spiderman ride in Disneyland. He was convinced well "only" when I said I checked in internet also. After the double confirmation, he seemed completely convinced.It seemed that the word internet ringed the bell to change his deep (belief) understanding :-)
