This little incident happened recently when all the four of us were returning home late, one night.
Mr.Bee was driving, I sat beside him. GBee was seated in the seat behind us and KBee was feeling sleepy, so he sat in my lap. We were hardly 5 minutes away from our home.
Suddenly, he saw the road sign to our right side….
I don’t know in what angle the road sign looked like a monster. It was either the lack of street light or the radium paint on the road sign shining under our headlights or the weird stick figure dropping litter, which must have looked like black liquid leaking from his stretched hand, or, KBee’s over- active imagination…Whatever!
I turned my head to look at what caused the panic….understood that the road sign was the culprit. I pacified the kid saying, it is just a road sign.
That soothed his brain.
He began playing again, with the cars in his hands. (His hands are never empty. He has something or other always in his hands.)
This little incident made me realize that even harmless stuff like a road sign can be a cause of worry for little kids.
Just like the lump of coat hanging from a peg, which dances at night, thanks to the high speed fan, anything can be a monster!
P.S :
1. This particular incident had taken place inside the car, but, drawing the inside of the car is too tedious. So, I have kept it simple. The cartoons are supposed to show KBee and me sitting in the front seat but all the extra details of car would have made the cartoon clustered.
2. While this incident was happening, Mr.Bee was silently driving the car and GBee was shouting at the top of his lungs about his friends who stay nearby, etc. They were not involved in our conversation, so I refrained from drawing them.
3. Turns out KBee is giving me lots of material for my blog posts. Incidentally, both the kiddos name all their cars. We have vroom vroom car, First Asha, MK- 1 (short for Mortal Kombat), Point – 1 and Lighter! (These are some of their favourite cars)
Till the next post, cheerio!
