Answer papers of half-yearly assessments have been sent home and Rishi is on a high. His marks are great, he's teachers' darling in school so much so that he doesn't even lose marks when he makes small mistakes(!!). So his only worry right now is his sister who's scored below-par in Maths. And worse, her cool remark to his rants is "I don't care for marks. What is their use anyway! I'm going to become a storyteller when I grow up." It has taken up my entire afternoon and a lot of breath to bring some semblance of sanity to the house.
Anu's latest obsession is becoming independent. She says by the age of nine she will make a mountain in the park below, build a house on top of that mountain and live there. I asked her not to bother me with her food then but she wouldn't agree.
Voices are misleading. One gets used to hearing gruff and aggressive voices at the other end of the phone for long and develops a matching image. So it's a pleasant surprise when you finally meet him and see a very mismatching figure who is also personally nice to you.
