KIDS will be KIDS !!

Kings XI team boarded the our flight from Delhi to Chd .

Me sounding excited like all other passengers- "Aru. See the cricketers are boarding our flight."
Aru raising herself up and trying to figure out- "Who mom ?"
Me - "Those uncles in white T-shirts and wearing goggles."
Aru - "Mom but why are they wearing goggles in the plane ? There's no sun."
Me - "It's for style darling."
Aru chuckling - "Oho Stylo." ...Pause... "Funny boys" she says scorning their immaturity 
...
...
Aru - "Mom who are cricketers ?"
Me - "Papa watches match on TV. Those people are cricketers"
Aru -"Ya Ya all day he watches" sounding irritated as her TV time is ruined because of that.
"But how did they come out of TV ?"
Me- "Well. They don't live in TV. We shoot a video when they are playing and show it on TV" happy with the explanation I gave 
Aru - "I know that." suggesting as to why I need to tell her such a trivial thing.
....
...
..
A brief pause

Aru - "Mom but how does papa know them", hearing him speak out the names of a few."
Me- "He watches them and recognized their faces."
Aru - "Hmm. Okay "

Just an "okay" from Arunima's end. I was relieved as the volley of questions seemed to be over. Just then another one 

Aru - "Mom"
Me - "Now Enough baby"
Aru - "One last...Why are they going to Chd ?"
Before I could answer
Aru with a sparkle in her eyes- "Maybe they are going to meet their nana-nani and have fun with cousins n all. Because it's summer vacations"

I didn't want to dampen her excitement so just smiled and nodded in agreement
