Recently our daughter visited us in India from the US along with her husband and daughter . They stayed with us for over a month and returned to New Jersey in October . In one of the phone calls to our four year old grand daughter Sanjana , my wife told her –
Sanjana , we are really sad you have gone back to New Jersey. Do you also feel sad ?
Sanjana replied –
No grand ma , I am not feeling sad . I am very happy at my home in New Jersey. But I miss you very much here .
A great lesson for me and my wife!!! . Thank you Sanjana.
It is quite amazing how kids get to be so innocent, so real and so practical …so easily :).
An adult would not have been able to feel much less give such a sorted answer – suger coating or toning it down either to please themselves or the person on the other side of the call :).
Thank you Chaitanya. It is amazing indeed .
