Ok, this post is on a hilarious note but it has serious content. So read on…

First the women speak, there is an old joke that When a women says NO, she actually means YES. This is exactly the way our kid at home, Y2 has been behaving lately. He has picked up this habit of throwing anything he can lay his hand upon. We now have a broken TV remote and all his toys are in bad shape.

You tell him no throwing and the next moment, bang it goes. I have had a few luck by asking him to throw and he doesn’t. So I guess this is the way it works, but I am not advocating the same.

Have you faced a similar scenario at home? How did you deal with this? Please post your thoughts in the comments.

Let us start our first parenting blog entry on an auspicious note as we celebrate Durga Pooja, Dussehra, Vidyrarambham, Vijaya dashami etc. Festivals do bring back those memories when we were kids ourselves. I can remember my childhood days like it was yesterday and all the festival fun we had then.

The pooja holidays where special, we had a custom where we need to keep our books for Pooja and those three days where the most happy holidays. You are not supposed to read anything, not even news paper and on the third day, you finish this by reading Ramayan and then your text books.

I really don’t know if kids these days have all the fun we had, Diwali used to start a month in advance and nowadays, it is just one evening affair. But as parents, let us try to give the best to our kids, let us teach them the importance of these festivals, let us celebrate the festivals together, teach them the underlying message of victory over evil. Who knows, one day your kid might blog about the fun time he had as a child during festivals.

Happy holidays and do post in comments how it went this year.
