Pains for who?

An interesting event took place when I was at hospital waiting for some tests. A little girl (3-4 years old) was in the room taking blood samples along with her mother. The girl was crying her head off with her grandma trying to console her. While we thought the little one was having some tests, it turned out that it was the mom who was actually having the tests and the little girl was crying because she did not want anyone to hurt her mom! After a few minutes, the mom was given some colored drink (must be glucose tolerance test). Grandma told, "see now amma is given juice". The little girl was so thrilled that her mom got juice! The flowing tears in her eyes got replaced by a sparkle and a smile that was patent even in the eyes!

Kids are kids! Their sense of involvement in what they do is simply great. No wonder someone said "The Child is the Father or the Man". (may be seeing this cute little girl, also say "The Child is the Mother of the Woman". Gender equality folks rest contended!

Cheers
