man you guys missed SO much during the summer. i wish i was blogging then.

i mean wat cud be funnier than me, teaching 2 kids how to paint. how to make a volcano. telling them random stories....

we were pirates, army, navy, chefs, space astronauts, circus clowns, house cleaners, princesses, dragon slayers, kings and queens of england, artists, french spies, japanese cartoonists, war heroes, cops, international jewel thieves, movie directors, etc etc
all over the space of a summer.

its true. kids are the greatest timepass. and keeping them interested is like THE greatest challenge. it kinda works for me coz i have the same threshold of boredom as they do. and the same attention span.
so its ok. to know that you and a 8 year old think alike. in most matters.
i mean me and my cousin were like clones. we watched the same cartoon channels [ infact i introduced them to a couple better one's , now theyr parents hate me :-| ]
we have the same opinions on clothes and hairbands and bling stuff, bathing on sundays, boys [ we both think boys are made of frogs and snails and puppy dogs tails ] , food [ brinjal is eeeew, chips and cookies yumm ], on how important it is to see cartoons on a saturday morning and go to birthday parties and avoid the mandatory sunday kannada lessons... etc etc
i mean i was made to sit along with them for the kannada writing and spelling tests.

and my breakfast was supervised too, after my uncle found out that i cudnt fend for myself and left to my own devices i wud have a box of biscuits as a meal....

yup.
it was an awesome summer.

where i made sure every friday movie was a cartoon [ oh u HAVE to watch Howl's moving Castle ]. and the kids learnt some japanese. and we made a HUGE mess everytime we wanted to paint....
[ after the painting i'd be the one with the MOST paint on myself and my clothes. its mortifying to know your messier than a 6 and 8 yr old... its also scary to think that you 'get' a 8 yr old much much better than anyone even remotely close to your own age... i mean not ONCE did i think, what an idiot, omg! she's SO...
except for that one time... with that cookie.... ]
