We were on our way to church last evening. The traffic was terrible as usual. My daughters were amusing themselves by gazing out of the car window.
At one of the traffic signals……
Naina: Chechi, look at that poor man. His car is broken. He has no money to repair it.
Nikita: Oh so sad.
We all turned to commiserate with the poor man and his broken car.
It was a Mercedes Convertible. The owner was driving it with its hood down.

ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind words.
Bins: Amazing is the apt word to describe them. young minds are so free of any binding or artifice.
