Sriram, The most magnonimous child

Every day, after their morning bath, my two children wrapped in towels will come into the kitchen and say, "Mommy, I'm freezing; give me a hug". I pick them up, hug them, and then dress them. This morning I was a little busy making sevai for breakfast, so when they came I just picked them up and put them back in the bed with the towel.

When Arun asked Sowmya to give him the towel, Sriram said, "Appa, she will feel very cold. Don't take hers."

Arun said, "But I need a towel". He replied, "Then I'll give you mine. Arun asked, "Aren't you cold?" He replied with a shrug. It's okay Appa, I'll manage.

Arun beamed with pride. Children grow faster........

PS: This happened when he was 3. I wrote this then, but I wonder why I didn't publish it then.
