Ads: Amma I want to stay young. I mean I want to stay 6 years old.
Me: You mean like forever?
Ads: Yeah.
Me: Yaaay! I don't want you to grow up too (My internal voice: Though sometimes I can't wait for it! :)) And these are the best years of your life, what do you think?
Ads: Yeah. But the best years are when you are a baby, no? Or maybe like Y.
Me: Babies have the best time. But I don't think you had a great time when you were 3, baby. I think you are happier now :)
Ads: If everyone stayed at the same age, then no one will die. I can always play with thatha and naani.
Me: But change is what makes life interesting. Wouldn't it be boring if everything stayed exactly the same?
Ads: Ok maybe if we all have to die, then maybe we can all be together in heaven. Can we? How many people are in heaven amma?
Me: Errrrr.......
Quantum leaps in thought always leave me floundering.
Witty boy!

Thanks uma, did it, hope the problem is sorted out :)
Delete:D just tell him there are very few people in heaven. It would be more interesting to go to hell. After all, you go to heaven for the weather and hell for the company!
ReplyDeleteI think its better if i don't take the conversation any further since it just leads to more doubts and questions :)
Deletehe does not yet know the concept of hell?
ReplyDeletehellfire and eternal damnation? Oh no, imagine if advaith started thinking seriously about all these things :)
DeleteThis is just too profound for 6 years old ! Would love to have a conversation with Ads sometime :)
ReplyDeleteWow. That is a lot of thinking by a six year old! However did he come up with these thoughts.
ReplyDeleteI think we must have come up with such thoughts too, re --- unfortunately our mums couldn't blog about it then :)
