D is for dance, R is for riddles

Finally, San's school's annual function is done with. After long sessions of dance practice at school, the kids performed really well on the D-day. It's wonderful to see all these kids perform on the stage without any stage-fright and nervousness, something that they aren't even aware of. It was a pure delight to watch San dance and we're a step prouder now! All fluffy! Hoho! :-D

Kids are a reflection of us. I've been reading and hearing about this since long. I'm seeing it now, clearly. Sigh! I wish I could handle my patience better and so that San learns the same.

There's a new thing that San loves to do now: play riddles. The simple ones. Guess the object/animal/vegetable/fruit, basically any noun, by its first letter, color, and one more helpful clue. So this is what happened today:

Mommy, I'll ask you one puzzle and I'm sure you won't be able to guess.
Okay, ask.
It starts with T, it's an animal, it's white in color, and it's found in the jungle.
(I thought hard for some time and I couldn't guess.)
Ok, I give up San. What is it?
See I told you that you won't be able to guess. (Does a little happy dance here.) It's a Tiger, Mommy!!
Huh? No, San. It's all wrong.
It's right! It's a white tiger!

Kids, I tell you! :-D
