My wife, my sister and my brother-in-law brings in reference to good and bad in their persuasive conversations with my daughter and my niece . Even I do. But I really can’t recollect the date and time when I first started going that route! But, does my daughter realize the meaning of these words? Today, I came to know she does!
Her playschool starts at 9 am. When she started in the playschool in July, I was there at the door with her around 8:55 am. At 9:05 am, the teachers rushed into the building. They smiled sheepishly at the parents, who were waiting outside. Then, they opened the door and ushered in the children.
For the next couple of days, I still went early to the playschool giving a benefit of doubt to the teachers! When the same incident repeated consistently, I decided to change my routine instead of hoping for the situation to change. So, I started dropping my daughter to playschool after 9:15 am.
Today, after a very long time, we reached the playschool early at 8:55 am. It was déjà vu. The doors were closed and we waited outside. While waiting, my daughter initiated a conversation.
She: No school today? Can we go home?
Me: There is school today.
She: Then, why can’t we go in?
Me: We have to wait.
She: Why?
Me: Because, they have to open the door.
She: Monica ma’am bad girl. She is late for school!
Monica ma’am is my daughter’s teacher. I was smiling ear to ear. My daughter knows the difference between good and bad.

ReplyDeleteLast night, my daughter told me that I am a good girl, because I have good manner. When asked to define that, she listed out all the things I do ... playing with her, talking to her, etc etc. And, she didn't even miss a minor thing. For a change, felt good.
