Recess time is usually the time when kids in my class crowd around and we have great fun. Today one of my kids came upto me, and this is what followed.
Smart Alec: Miss, can I ask you a riddle?
Me: OK
Smart Alec: How was the rat able to fly?
Me ( ponders for a while) : Uhmm...Don't know..Why don't you tell me?
Smart Alec: Because it ate Lite Biscuits.
Me: Oh! ( I don't watch too many advertisements anyway)
Smart Alec: How was the snake able to fly?
Me: (Smiling triumphantly): Because it ate the Parle lite Biscuits?
Smart Alec: ( Shaking her dead in dismay) Nooo! Because it ate the rat.
Me : Oh Ok! ( That was easy, I should have guessed. Silly me)
Smart Alec: Ok Miss, now guess how was the eagle able to fly?
Me: That's easy, because it ate the snake?
Smart Alec: ( Laughing) Wrong again! It flew because it had wings!
Me: .............................( Stumped)
These days kids are too smart :-)
