the big boss and i hired another movie tonight - duplicity (which i will write about later)
my son didn't even pause to look at the cover... i guess that's because it had nothing to do with cricket or football or guitar (his latest favourite musical instrument) or narnia or harry potter or any of those things which would hold his attention for a few seconds...
but our daughter doesn't miss a thing... especially when the
picture on the cd cover looks something like this...she promptly wants me to tell her what the couple is doing... (look closely at the picture of julia roberts and clive owen in the middle... missed it? she didn't!)
i knew that she knew, but that she wanted to hear it from me...
i tried talking about some other things... i don't remember but i must've tried talking about the weather... that didn't work... she listened to me patiently and then asked me again...
i then read out the synopsis of the movie on the back cover... she heard me intently and then asked me again... i realised that i am not getting away...
so i looked closely at the picture and told her that it looks like the man is trying to tell the lady some secret! she promptly curled her lips and said 'nah'... so i asked her if that was not it could she then tell me what they were doing? she said she wanted me to tell her...
i then told her that they were about to kiss... she then grinned and said yuck and went away... i thought i saw a smug look on her face as if she had scored a winning goal or something!!!
i tell you... girls are much smarter than guys about the most important things in life... and my daughter is just 5.5 years old! i'm sure the stories are only going to get more interesting with time! :P

this had me grinning through out!
and yes, girls are indeed much smarter!
Oh My God! 5.5 yrs and this? I am already worried ! A sample of things to come for me, I guess. My daughter will turn 2 this month.
Well, this post did have me grinning to the end too and hey! I have a daughter who's 15 months and I can't wait to know how she's gonna react to such stuff :-)
well isn't it simple to tell kids that the couple are shooting for a toothpaste ad :)
LOL, you need to tell them the truth and they don't leave with just synopsis, they have questions and more. Nice one.
