Child is the father of man

"Child is the father of man"

It is just not a statement. I learnt the real meaning of it today.

As I was cooking, I was trying to clear up the kitchen table and by mistake dropped the vessel down. I exclaimed "oh!! My God!!"

My two year daughter who was standing near by coolly said "theriyama panite ma".. Meaning you did it unknowingly.. It was just a mistake..

I stood there shocked at how she saw the whole thing. The patience filled inside my little princess. The maturity she had to tackle the situation.

I was also thinking how I would have reacted if I was at her place. Definitely not like her. I would have brought the roof down. Would have given her a big lecture on how things should be handled blah blah blah..

Felt so little in front of my little one..I would always remember this before reacting next time...

Definitely child is the father of man....

Love you princess!!!!
