Life, Asterix, Cartoons & Super Mario

The six year old graduated to a 7 year old amidst a little fanfare, a few kids, a magician, some pizza, lots of balloons and a Spiderman cake. And he continues to make these random comments on Life, Asterix, Cartoons etc.

(a lil' tiger wannabe)

Here are some of his comments at random moments:

"Life does not go backward, it only goes forward." (profound indeed)

"I love being a kid and not an adult. Kids have a lot of playtime and toys." "Mommy, do adults get playtime? What toys do adults play with?"

"When will the driver buy a car?" (Why?) "So, he can go home when it rains without getting wet on his bike"

"There's one teacher who pulls my ear and I don't know why. Did I do something wrong?" (we found out later that she thought he was cute and pulled his ear as a sign of affection, but he was horrified by it and thought he was being punished for some unknown reason)

Once in a while you hear him say "Chala Hot Guru!" (which is from a Telugu radio station our driver listens to :))

(What's all this mess in the kitchen?) "I did a science experiment and followed all the instructions in the book. I took a glass of water, covered it with a sheet of paper and turned it over. But the water splashed all over the kitchen. The experiment didn't work."

He made a little sign board for himself in his room using one of the card board boxes saying: "No girls allowed" (he later added 'except Moms').

He is now into drawing cartoons and making up his own visual stories of characters he created called the '5 Funny Brothers and their Adventures'.

The Wii and the Super Mario Galaxy have kept him busy on weekends. You sometimes hear him walking around the house (from Asterix and the Normans) yell..."By Thor!", "By Odin!".
