Sowmya came home from school very happily. She was beaming with joy because she was given homework for the first time. She put her sandals, lunch bag everything properly in their place and got ready to do her homework. She obeyed everything i said without slightest protest, so that she could do her homework without much delay. I am also a little carried away with excitement.
The home work was a simple - joining the dots to complete a picture and to color it. But this seemingly simple task was just too much for the kids. Mainly beacause kids are more interested in using the eraser to rub than using the pencil to do it properly. Sowmya atleast more interested in eraser and, with much difficulty she connected the dots with a line(which is mostly crooked) and colored it. I felt enchanted (and silly at the same time). When arun came he too was overwhelmed with pride on seeing her work. We both were completely smitten by this homework thing and was talking endlessly about how she became a big girl(FYI :doing LKG) and doing homeworks and all that.....
I forgave myself later with the thinking that anything "First..." should has its charm and we can go little overboard to enjoy it. Even now sowmya does her homework, first thing after reaching home and play comes later. my mom said in this she is just like me.
