Cook of the house

Ankit really wanted to go to India for his summer vacation. Mummy and Papa had little vacation so they couldn’t drop and pick him up. One day Ankit is having a phone conversation with his Nani (Mummy's Mummy)- where they are both complaining about the lost summer vacation.

Nani once again asks him “Why didn’t you come?”

Ankit “My Mummy couldn’t drop me. She has to do things for us and cook food for my dad all the time. She is the cook of the house”

Simple answer. The cook cannot leave the house.

Real dreams

Most kids have ambitious dreams... till reality strikes :).

At age 5 some want to be doctors and others want to be firemen. Ankit has a very good friend Kevin. Ankit and Kevin have a discussion on what they want to be when they grow up.

Ankit: I want to be an astronaut. I’ll get to go to space and explore.

Kevin: It’s not good to be one. You can die. It’s very dangerous.

Ankit: So what do you want to be?

Kevin: Just an ordinary guy working at Microsoft.

For some reality strikes at 5.

Always equal

Ankit loves math. Recently he has been introduced to equations and enjoys questions such as X * 4 =24.

Ankit also has a friend Parth so does not love math as much. Ankit and Parth have been asked to sit down to study. Parth's dad gives both some problems to work on. Parth is asked "What is 16+8". And then Ankit is asked "what is x when x + 16 = 20".

Before Ankit can think of the answer there is a scream from Parth. “That’s not fair. You gave him the answer !!!”
