It's me....

Few days back Prakruti didn’t want to eat… and I came up with this story….. Gods don’t eat by themselves, when we eat, each piece is for one God and when everyone eats Gods get their tummy full…. The first piece is always for Hathi jeje (Elephant God or Ganesha). Once Ganesha ate, he said my brother is also hungry eat one piece for him also.. So the next piece is for Muruga jeje. After eating his share he said, all my strength is from my mom so eat for her also.. And the next one is for Parvathi jeje.. Parvathi jeje said this after she ate: “You ate for me… please eat for my friends Saraswati jeje and Lakshmi jeje as well. Once Saraswati jeje ate her share she said… “please eat for my husband also…” Lakshmi jeje wants you to eat for Vishnu jeje…. Brahma jeje says, “ eat for my son Narada… please” Brahma and Vishnu want you to eat for their very good friend… Shiva jeje…. With this her pappu mammam (dal rice) was over… I will probably add valli deivanai and other Gods i...

ABCD story for kids! This is one of P-'s favorite stories.She enjoys it totally, and listens attentively till the end! This is how it goes... A-for-Apple and B-for-Ball were going for a walk. There they met C-for-Cat and D-for-Dog. A-for-Apple asked C-for-Cat where they were going. C-for-Cat said they were going for an all-animals' meeting and asked if they would also come and witness it. All four started walking. In some distance, near a river they saw E-for-Elephant. D-for-Dog asked E-for-Elephant if he was coming for the meeting. E-for-Elephant said he was waiting for F-for-Fish. G-for-Goat was walking in the other direction, and on his head was a H-for-Hat. F-for-Fish asked G-for-Goat where he was going.

As they were eating I-for-Ice cream and drinking J-for-J...

So, this is our latest story for our 2-year old daughter. 1. There was a man called Newton sitting under a tree. 2. Which tree? Apple Tree (include A for Apple somewhere now...) 3. What color apple - Red Apple 4. Suddenly, a red apple fell from the tree on Newton's head (ask her to show where her head is). 5. Why did it fall? Gravity! Newton ran around shouting - Gravity, Gravity! What did our daughter learn through this story?  - A for apple  - Apples are generally red  - Body parts  - & most importantly - Gravity!

When my daughter is asked for a story, she tells the story of a crow. A crow went up and sat on a tree. It sang a song but fell down.  It got hurt on its head and went home. Its mother applied medicine on its head and so, it recovered quickly.  This is probably her version of Aesop's fox and crow story . Other Kids stories in this blog

I started a series of short stories that I tell for our daughter before she goes to sleep. She has started play-school since November 2011. So, one story that we tell her is how her day passes... 1. Mother wakes her up at 7.30AM, brushes her teeth and makes her drink milk. 2. Father gives her a bath, and hands her over to mother to put her into her school uniform. 3. Mother give her breakfast 4. Father drops her in school at 9AM by car. 5. Mother goes to school at 12PM by walk, picks her up and comes back either walking or by an auto. 6. Grandmother gives her lunch and puts her to her noon nap. 7. Father picks her up from Grandmother's house and brings her back to her house 8. She plays, eats dinner and goes to sleep!

My 2 year old daughter keeps asking me for new stories every night before going to bed. I have used up most of the kid stories that I remember, and now have started inventing my own stories based on other stories that I read. She has been listening to my adaptations of Tintin, especially  Destination Moon  and  Explorers on the Moon . My stories are really a set of statements, mostly less than 10 and simple. She really enjoys these stories and sometimes repeats to me/her mother. My latest story is inspired from Tom & Jerry , and the Lion & Mouse story . 1. Tom is chasing Jerry because he is hungry. 2. After running around for some time, Tom manages to catch Jerry. 3. Jerry begs to leave him, and offers a piece of cheese that he has at his home. 4. Tom agrees, and follows Jerry to his house. 5. Tom sees that Jerry has a small kid. 6. Tom is a nice cat, so he lets Jerry go and asks him to give the cheese to his kid rather. My daughter really enjo...
