Night time

Ankit was in India, away from Papa Mummy, for the summer vacation.

One night he was having trouble as Nani (Mummy's Mummy) tried to put him to sleep.

Nani explains to him: "Ankit, everybody is sleeping. Now you go to sleep too."
Ankit: Everybody??
Nani: Yes Ankit, it is night, the whole world is sleeping. You should go to sleep as well.
Ankit: No! The whole world is not sleeping. The whole world is not having a night. The world is round, and when we are having a night, Papa Mummy are having a day because they are in America and America is on the other side of the world. So, not everybody is sleeping.
Nani doesn't know what to say.

Dirty Car

Ankit is about to sit down in Mummy's car when he notices some bird dropping on the roof. The car is pretty dirty and needs a wash anyway.

Ankit: "There is bird poop on the car"
Mummy: "Yeah, we need to clean the car. It is very dirty."
Ankit: "Yeah. The birds see the dirty car. They think it is a pooping place and they poop on it".

Ankit's comment makes Mummy realize that the car really needs a wash. That evening they clean the whole car end to end before Papa comes home.

Ankit: "Now birds will think Papa's car is the pooping place."

Telling time

Ankit comes running to Papa with a digital watch in his hand.

Ankit: Papa, is this watch telling the right time?
Papa: You tell me Ankit. Go look at the time on the oven watch.
Ankit, walking to the oven: Hmm... it says 10:04. The watch says 9:50.
Papa: So? (hoping Ankit will say the watch is slow, or the watch is showing the wrong time).

Ankit: This watch is showing some other place's time.
Papa is surprised at Ankit's understanding of relationship between time and place.
