Am sure u have that ability to tell stories in way that kids love it … u r nephew is lucky in that

and the comment “I am going to ask mom to buy me an aachachen!” shows how much kids like u

Very sweet post. One thing i missed out on during my childhood days was younger siblings and cousins (i was pretty much the youngest in the family). But later on i got coupla young nephews n nieces…i do dot on those devils (well…except when they really get on my nerves!!!). But i am never much of a story teller though…ur stories sound totally awesome….i wuld definitely try to customize some of the stories…

cheers

anu: I think they were…

Geo: Very true.

Kesi: Welcome and Thanks

Thanks for making me remember all my kid cousins …
Though I don’t narrate stories, I must say I am pretty popular with all of ‘em…
Time spent with kids is always rewarding. Often I learn a lot of things from em rather than the other way around…

Anup: You are absolutely right. Answering the questions asked by kids is more difficult as they don’t have any inhibitions and would continue asking until they are completely satisfied. One cannot escape after giving an ambiguous answer.

James Bright: Thanks James. Your son is right. The image is created from the poster of the movie “i,ROBOT” starring Will Smith, based on the book by the same name by Issac Asimov in which he sets out the principles of robot behavior—The three laws of Robotics. My photo was placed in the poster after replacing Will Smith’s photo. The wheelchair shown in the figure is called ‘iBOT’ and has the capability to standup, climb stairs, jump obstacles, etc., but costs a fortune and is only available in the US. My wheelchair is something less spectacular. The image was created by my brother Mathews, using Adobe Photoshop.

silverine: Yes I liked it too. I look forward to reading your baby sitting experiences. “The wolf ate ammachi” comment by your little cousin is really hilarious. Yes, she got the essence of the story right.

Now that is the greatest compliment I have ever heard! Really heartwarming post on a avery cute but highly volatile and intelligent subject-kids!!!

Having baby sat many a horror er…kid in my short lifetime I have grown extensively as a person by just being with kids. In fact your post has just inspired me to write about my baby sitting experiences. Once I was reading out loud “Red Riding Hood” to my 6 year old cousin when his 3 year old sister came and joined us.Later in the evening I heard her her tell her mom who had come to pick them up “So sad! The wolf ate ammachi” She had actually grasped the essence of the story!!!
