Our 4 year old wakes up everyday for school with an alarm, we love the tranquility we have achieved with this. Every morning she comes to our bedroom with a big cheery smile and a loud "Hello Guys, time to wake up!!" I tell ya, it wakes us all up with lovely smiles and the house gets going for the day without much hassle. And then comes Sunday morning when we parents want to sleep in late, stay and cuddle under covers for as long as we can and catch up on the rest we have been craving for throughout the week. But a 4 year old is an absolute individual. Alarm or not, she wakes up at the same time and rushes to greet us with that big cheery HELLO GUYS and both of us go, nooo, go back to bed, sleep some more, I am sleepy, pick up a book and use your newly acquired reading skills ! Of course, all those meek requests get rejected and she keeps pulling us out of the bed. "Come sweety, why don't you join us and snuggle under covers??" Many of the times this offer works and she happily jumps in. Now do we all sleep some more? You would think so but she is a 4 and she is a girl. So once she is awake, she has the obligation to be chatty. "Mamma, I am thinking about a thing"
ummmmmm, ya?
"Ya, I am thinking about a thing that needs to be in stores for people to buy"
unhun
"I am thinking about flowers that we can eat"
oh
"You know a snack in the shape of flowers. But they will not be ready to eat flowers. They will be in a box which has three sections. One section will have the center of the flower in circle shape, another section will have its petals and one more section will have the stem. So the person who wants to eat that snack, will open the box and make a flower by putting all the given pieces together and then will have a flower snack ready to eat. It will be so much fun to eat the snack because you get to make it too"
Now that did bring me out of slumber and I thought wow I was never that creative!
"And you know, they will be edible flowers, so they will be safe to eat but very colorful like real flowers. Can you buy that snack for me next time we go to the supermarket?"
Well, I am not sure if they have any such thing in stores for us to buy.
"You can try mamma and if they don't have it then we will make it and put it on the grocery stores shelves. We will sell edible flowers" !!!!!
I am thinking we should all get up early on Sundays, who knows when we think of the next big idea.

Lost Wisdom
Two days back someone tied my hands and legs, drugged me and robbed my wisdom! I have lost it forever and can never get it back. My family has been very supportive while I recuperate. No one is filing a report or anything though. Well, well, well, I had my wisdom tooth extraction, as some of you might have guessed by now. I took the general anesthesia route and all I remember is the surgeon telling me, “You will feel a little needle pinch here on the arm and then some tingling sensation in your legs” and then, what felt like a moment later, I was in the recovery room with someone showing my husband how to stuff my mouth with gauze and words like noodle, soft, cold were ringing in my ears. And then I opened my eyes and saw my husband's ever pleasing face admiring me. Well that was it! No pain but I am still dizzy with the anesthesia. Lost wisdom is the reason for lack of posts on the blog. Hoping to be in action soon though!
Is your wisdom intact?
