Just as GBee began his education this year, Grade 1 and all, we have come across the term Home Fun. Gone are the olden days when we as students in school, were given ‘Home Work’! Kids these days have Home Fun, daily and that too in at least two subjects!
This specific incident happened when I was busy folding the laundry, while instructing GBee on how to go about his Home Fun! Incidentally, I always have to correct myself each time. I begin talking like, ‘GBee, let’s start your home work, I mean home fun!’
Sadly, even GBee says it is his home work! He even wrote GBee working on the wall behind the table! (He is into graffiti, lol!)
Anyway…
And..the conversation starts…
Before I could get my brain back into the groove from all the humming while folding the laundry, to even respond to GBee, KBee, the baby had replied to GBee.
I could hardly believe my eyes, I mean, ears! See, I am flustered!
KBee is a silent guy, who hardly responds to stuff. Sometimes, he prefers giving silent hand gestures to get his point across. So, seeing such a boy, reply voluntarily to his anna, was a bit overwhelming for me.
Surprised and shocked that KBee can even reply to conversations…
KBee even repeated himself, when I expressed my surprise.
Before I could gather my bearings, the kiddos were huddled together in their own private conversation.
Full blown conversation happens….
And that was how I began to see that both have their conversations.
This is the kind of Home Fun I enjoy.
Come on Home Fun, let’s do this!
P.S:
- The stuff in GBee’s hand is supposed to be a text book. I hope that was clear, I tried my best to draw!
- The moment I heard the word Home Fun, from GBee’s teachers, I found it vaguely familiar. Then I understood what it was. I was reminded of ‘E.T. Home Phone’! I hope you have seen and admired the ‘E.T. – the Extra Terrestrial‘ movie, by Steven Spielberg. (it was released in 1982, well before I was born, but I still watched it!) It is one of the best of the best, a classic!
- On an unrelated note, 1990 Tamil movie Anjali and 2003 Hindi movie Koi Mil Gaya, both were inspired by the ‘E.T. – the Extra Terrestrial‘ movie. At least Anjali had good acting!
- Lastly, I really enjoyed the E.T. adventure ride at Universal Studios, Orlando.

P.P.S:
I will be back with the remaining vacation posts. GBee has exams this week. Cheerio!
