Calligraphy and love letter ?

While deciding the school electives for 3rd and 4th quarter Anurag tries hard to convince Avi to pick Modern Dance or Tap Dance. Avi puts his foot down and lets out a strong NO to anything dance related. Anurag relents but only on the condition that Avi would pick Calligraphy. Avi wants to do Design Engineering .Anurag does not want Avi to do anything in math and science area and persuades him to pick something artistic/creative.

Anurag - "Believe me, this is going to be really useful for you, being able to express yourself in a skillful hand writing".

Avi - "now come on Daddy , I am not going to be writing love-letters".

This is the one for heart

Anurag was in CA last week, traveling for work. We were texting each other and somewhere in between Neev got hold of my phone and sent his FIRST TEXT to Daddy, perfectly spelled. It read -
I love you so much better than anything else in the world love Neev
 

Bed, Bath and WHAT ?

When it comes to shopping, its clear that my boys and their Dad always try to wriggle their way out (unless its a store like Radio Shack or Game stop). There are many stores where I shop that they are not familiar with. It happened to be one of those days when I HAD to go shopping and drag Neev along with me. We went to Bath & Body Works and then had to make a stop at Bed Bath and Beyond. Neev was exhausted and bored, and this is how the conversation rolled -

Neev - Mommy, we already went to sooooo.......many stores.
Me: Yes Love but I really need to pick some things at Bed Bath and Beyond, it shouldn't take long.
Neev: Whaaaaat ??? But we already went to this store.
Me : No Love, that was Bath and Body Works, its a different store.
Neev (in an exasperated voice and tone ) : Fiiiiiiiine , let's just get done with this whole "Bed Bath and (paused after saying 'and',  tried to think the full name of the store but obviously could not remember  'Beyond') Whoopi Shower" business !!

So now "Bed Bath and Beyond" is "Bed, Bath and Whoopi Shower" in our household and according to Neev when you talk about Bath, Shower is a natural thing to think of !!  :):):)
