Playing tricks with little Sara.

Today was Sara's first day at her new school. The poor baby got up (Read: was made to) at an unearthly hour; 0530 hours. 

On getting up she asked me why was she being sent to school at night! It was pitch dark. I told her may be it was God being mischievous with her by hiding the sun since it is April Fool's day today. That sure made her little eyes sparkle and soon she jumped out of her bed to make new friends at her new school.

I was ofcourse there to meet her at her bus stop in the afternoon and the little girl chatted nineteen to the dozen...new friends, new books, new class, new teachers...

She stopped talking only when her dry throat got the better of her which is when I asked her to go and get some cold Roohafza from the refrigerator.

"Its seems to be stuck in my straw" was her first reaction. All this while I was trying REALLY hard to maintain a serious face. And then her little eyes grew really wide..."you tricked me", she shrieked. 

Her reaction was priceless!

Now she is waiting for her dad to get back home so that she can play the same trick on him. Go make your little one all giggly and super happy today.
