Mom’s diary

Instance 1 : 

*just for laugh*

Had been to my hometown, and my home is near to Dairy, so in evening all cows roam on roads and lot of cow dug on roads. In Bangalore My 3 year old daughter Paree never saw cow-dug on road. And one day she slipped and her feet got in cowdug she cried a lot. And at night before sleeping she said “mumma why cow did poo poo on road? I said usko malum nai hai na ki poo poo bathroom me karna hai. She said “ruko kal Paree cow ko bolegi, ki cow poo poo bathroom me karna hai “

Instance 2 :

3 years back when my daughter was just 1 year old, I had put her in day care. Waiting at the door of day care overheard the conversation of one mom who was laughing and telling “kuch bhi kar lo mere bete se sorry nai bulawa sakte “.. well that moment thoughts came to my mind what if my daughter will also do the same in future. 

Today my daughter is 4 years 2 months old and yesterday night on bed while sleeping she said “mumma I am sorry” I asked why are you saying sorry, she said “because of Paree you got hurt in the morning that’s why” even though that moment itself she had said sorry. Saying sorry again in the night remembering his good and bad part of the day, I am so proud of my daughter. 

Instance 3 : Inquisitive mind (10 Oct 2022) and my little chatter box 

Every night on bed, me and my daughter (4.3 years old ) we say I love you to each other before sleeping. 

2 days back 

Paree : mumma why do you love me ? 

Me : because you are my darling daughter 

Paree : why am I your daughter? 

Me : thinking for few seconds… then said . Because  God gave you to mumma and papa. You are an angel. God said take care of this angel now onwards and gave you to mumma and u came inside my stomach. 

Paree : oh I am an angel ? A fairy ? 

Me : yes 

Paree : hmm .. then goes to sleep 

 

Next day 

Paree : mumma if I am a fairy where are my wings ? I want to fly 

Me : because you will fly away so God cut your wings and gave to mumma 

Paree : (with a sad face ) but I wanted wings right 

Me :  why u want wings ? 

Paree : because I want to go shopping that’s why

Me : ooo but you will fly away and go alone, then you will get lost.. no Paree plz don’t fly away from us. 

Paree : I will take mumma papa along and will fly away for shopping 

Me : awww 🥰 , but then what do u want to buy ? 

Paree : (thinking for a while) I will buy a gift for you because your bday is coming right 

Needless to say how happy I was, listening to that, my little girl who grabs almost all toys in the shop , now when given a chance to think what she wants to buy she thought of a gift not a toy or gift for herself but for her mom. I am on cloud nine 🥰

Instance 4 : Contd

Today after she got to know that God gave her to us and she came to my stomach, she asked in continuation to that 

Paree : mumma where was I when god gave me to you 

Me : (surprise on this question) I don’t know 🤷‍♀️ only  God knows 

Paree : why he only chose me to give you why not someone else

Me : (even more surprised ) I don’t know that too 🤷‍♀️

 Night 1:

My daughter: Mumma when your cold and cough will go away ?

Me: (after wearing mask for almost 2 weeks because of cold and cough) mumma is taking medicines already but it’s not going away, please pray to god for me. 

My daughter: Oh God please cure my mom’s cold and cough so I will get lots of kisses from her 🙏

Night 2:  

My daughter : Mumma I want to make you and papa laugh and happy everyday 

Me:Aww. I don’t want anything else in the world !! Love you bachcha 😘 

Night 3: 

My daughter: mumma I am sorry for what I did today (some mischievous act which she did) I don’t want you to be angry 

Me: Aww!! I am sorry too for getting angry on you. I love you 

My daughter:  it’s ok mumma. And I love you too . You are the best mom in the whole world 

Me : 😍 and you are the best daughter in the whole world.

The significance of expressing emotions lies in teaching your child to do the same, fostering their emotional growth and independence so they won't rely on others to comprehend their silence.

Instance 6 : 20.12.2023

My daughter : Mumma how to identify what is bad and what is good ? and how come grown-ups know everything what is good and what is bad ? how children should will come to know what is good and what is bad?

Me: When your heart says someone will not feel happy or you don't feel happy, that means it's bad. And if you make someone happy or you feel happy without making anyone angry it's good. 

Instance 7 : 20.03.2024

My daughter : Mumma, what does Santa Clause do when it is not Christmas? 

Me : He lives a normal like us, he wear clothes like us. 

My Daughter : hmmm,  Mumma, why Santa Clause doesn't come in front of us? Why does he hide always from us. 

Me : Because he carries so many gifts, and if children see the gift bag, they will ask for more and more gifts, then how all kids will get their gifts. 

Instance 8 : 13.06.2024

Me : awww Mera baccha, had to calm her down first. Then had to explain her how to let go off things which is broken in our life. 

My daughter: (too small to understand these emotions) mumma when I will become grand mother I still want to play with my blue diamonds , 

Me  : what if your daughter or grand daughter ask to play with it.

My daughter: NO , it is mine I will not let them play with it, otherwise they will loose it and I will be sad.

Me : but u have to share with your own daughter, like I do na

Me : 😁

Instance 10: 20.08.2024
My daughter : Mumma how did you keep my name?
Me : Well we decided that you should some letters from Mumma's and Papa's name. Then we decided on few names, then we kept the different chits with different names near the God, then asked Aadi bhaiya who was the youngest in the family that time, to pick the name for you. And that's how we kept your name. Each letter of your name represents something unique. 
Your name Namasya means : "to pay homage, worship, be humble or deferential", A Goddess name, The person who deserves the worthy of honour and praise.

Me : yeah , and skin is made up of tissues. 

My Daughter : What? Skin is made up of Tissue paper?
Me : (laughing) no not tissue paper, it's like small small tissue paper design, but this we can see only through microscope. When you will grow big , you will be able to see in the school.

The curious mind 

My daughter: Mumma how trex died? 

Me : I told her one big asteroid hit the earth, then there was a huge earthquake on earth which caused all the land dinasouraus to die. 

My daughter: then how mosasaurus died?

Me : first googled ( what is mosasaurus?) oh that's a dinasouraus live in water.

Then I had to search again how all dinasouraus became extinct. Luckily got a youtube video explaining how it all happened with animations. Showed her that 8 min video.

My daughter: whether any human survived all these ? 

Me: NO, even dinasouraus didn't survive how human can survive ..they all died. 

My Daughter: so then how did they make this video ? 

Me : explained her about technology to make artificial videos.

My daughter:hmmm(thinking deeply).. so all humans and dinasouraus died and buried under the soil. Then who told them about all these happened.

Me : 😳didn't think this was coming..  there are scientists who can analyse and predict what happened in the past by digging the soil and analysing the remains.They are called archaeologist.
