Cricket

Last is sunday we enrolled the kids into cricket coaching. The husband being a cricket fan and player....(which Indian man is not, I ask), he insisted that cricket coaching should happen.

The coach insists that this should be done twice a day on both weekends and the husband is eager to do it.

The place is less than 10 minutes away but the husband doesn't want to budge after dropping them.

The day began last week with me being rudely awakened at 5.38 am even before the kids are awakened, to get the kids ready for cricket. Where does this alacrity go on school days I ask.

Not to forget the huge kit that has been purchased, kit bag, bat, gloves, pads, helmet, attire, footwear, and th guards and support most importantly. The kids believe they look very smart in the helmet.

The coaching begins and ends with 2 circuits of the playground which is done very lazily. Here you can see the kids running around the huge ground.

And it works this way. They are allowed to go to cricket only if they go to keyboard classes and continue with their drawing classes.

Fingers crossed.

Toothy travails and tales

In quick succession the upper incisors fell.

While I knew that their upper incisors were not in the best condition, I was shocked to see the black spots on the sides like they show in the colgate ad.
So they don't actually look endearing like pearls but horrific pomegranate seeds which have seen better days.
I am wondering whether the permanent dentures would also be affected or prone to the affliction.

Any dentists out there among my dear readers who could help me please?

Crackers

For the first time the kids were interested in bursting crackers.
While I understand the need to be green and the child labour angle I couldn't deny them the fun and pleasures of the colourful lights and the thrill of setting them off.

What do I do? We kept it to bare minimum but that doesn't really do much.

How do we compensate?

Can I do something else to make it up for the pollution caused?

Any thoughts?

Watch Fight

Ojas & Tejas fight over a single watch.

Mamma tries hard to make them negotiate until the truth comes out.

Ojas- I don't want that watch. Paati farted on it.

Tejas- She did not fart on it. She just sat on it.

Following Suit

He managed to rescue this from going down the drain.
