(Walking back with daughter after her ‘theatre’ class)
Daughter: Where’s the car? Don’t tell me we are walking back.
Me: We are going to walk back, you brat. It takes just 10 minutes to reach home.
Daughter: 10 minutes! My aching feet!
Me: You know, I used to walk for miles, when I was your age. School, shop, playground, everywhere.
Daughter: But, it must have been so easy those days. Not so much of traffic….
Me: That’s why you need to walk now. There’s simply too much traffic already. Why add one more car?
Daughter: But, your parents let you go walking alone. I am sure you will never permit me.
Me: Suppose I permit you, will you go walking to school?
Daughter: No.
Me: So, it’s nothing to do with my permitting you.
Daughter: Oh, Oh. You are dragging me into a complicated conversation again.
Me: What do you mean, I am dragging you?
Daughter : And I know why you are doing it. You are searching for something to blog about.
