Remember those school wala summer holidays? All play and no worries? I had almost relived them this summer.. thanks to Akshara! Few kids in the neighbourhood come home everyday to play with Akshara. It was real fun watching them play, mess around the house, innocent question and even more innocent answers :)
6 year old Anu came running along the stairs and said, "Aunty give me water , my heart attack is going faster". She meant her heart beat :)
Yesterday was all the more fun. One of them said, she wanted to play hide and seek and all of them wanted to hide. So Akshara and me has to cont and find them all. yes, I played along with them and felt transported back in time forgetting all about the age difference. Later i realized I had to behave my age but it was too late. I continued playing and had super fun.
Later in the evening, in the park, one of the kids mom asked me," Did you play hide n seek with the kids? Pihu(her daughter) was telling me".
I tried doing some damage control.. "yam amyam yam.. No I was just watching them " and the last nail in my coffin came from Pihu as she suddenly appeared from nowhere and said.." Aunty don't tell lies, you played with us right?"
Her mom, my friend laughed but gave me a saving grace by changing the topic. Thank you!
But yeah, the embarrassment was all worth it. I did really have fun playing with the kids. (I don't want to sound retard, but if you ever get a chance, give it a try, you will sure have fun!)
