unconvincable Arjun

 My little chatterbox is everywhere in the home talking about difference between ripe, unripe and bad bananas, sharing his opinion on whose side of argument is correct and also crying when Dad hugs the big brother instead of him. He does so much to entertain us, make our life meaningful and beautiful. But never have I took a chance to write about it.

Dec 2019/Jan 2020
Today, his teacher walked over excitedly on seeing me to share an anecdote about Arjun.

During one of the conversation, they had ended up asking/telling I teached you alphabets and spelling.

Arjun had told, "No, I learned it myself"

I argued with this so much in his own terminology to inculcate him the value of gratitude/respect, etc.

Refusing to give up, Arjun finally resorted to say, "I say so because my teacher finds it funny and laughs"

- thats invincible Arjun for you..

 

 In the lunch table, during the discussion about Astronuts and rocket ships.

Question: Why would someone(astronaut)  get out of spaceships

Arjun(very very casually): To hoist their flags.

Cycling across the road not seeing the regular cyclist on his proper path in the road. 

The cyclist stops, apologies although it is not her mistake. She sympathetically asks,   "Are you okay?"

The big man  replies, "Not really" with the scorn in his face
