Still on the issue of child rearing, a young Indian couple stying in Australia narrated this delightful yet disturbing story. They have two kids, a boy aged 5 and a girl aged 3.
One evening they went out and left the children home. They brought back a small cake from the market. By that time the boy was sleepy and didnt want to eat the cake. Keep it in the frig please, he said. The cake was tasty and the parents finished it off. Next morning the boy went to the frig and found no cake. Where is my cake, he demanded. Oh, well, we ate it all, was the reply of the somewhat embarrassed parents. I am going to call the police to complain that you have stolen may cake said the boy! The parents were speechless.
On another occassion the mother was admonishing the young daughter, I will give you a slap if you dont behave. Then I will call the police, was the matter of fact reply of the little daughter.
