Ferragosto In Goa – 2010

In the past I’ve been blogging here about our Italian club’s Ferragosto celebration. But now that our club’s website has been live for a few months, I saw no sense in duplicating posts (and naturally, my work!). I guess I won’t be doing any such posts in the future.So, head on over to the Ferragosto 2010 album of Goa’s very own ‘Circolo Italiano’.

Lil one was quite horrified when she saw what I’d done to her pencil.. :D

Lil one.. Preparing for the masquerade ball? :)

At The Park

I was down at the park with Thaïs yesterday when I overheard a small group of 5-year-olds fighting, Thaïs included. I don’t know why the fight started — my attention was drawn to them when their little voices rose in anger as they threatened each other.

Boy #1: “I’ll slap your face.”

Boy #2: “I’ll box your stomach.”

Boy #3: “I’ll call my brother. He’s bigger than you. He’s 12 years old.”

Thaïs: “I’ll call my cousin.”

Boy #3 to Thaïs: “Call your cousin. My brother is bigger than your cousin. He’s 25.”

Thaïs: “Oh yeah? That’s what you think. My cousin is bigger. He’s.. 165.”

Friendship Day

Thaïs came home from school today with a friendship bracelet around her wrist. I thought it was one of their craft projects, so I didn’t question her about it. It was only later that she started telling me about a new boy in class and how he wanted to be friends with her. By then, of course, I was all ears.

Long story short, there is this new boy in class who took the trouble to make a friendship bracelet for one classmate, and of all the kids in class he picked Thaïs. Hmm.. Time to start worrying??

Husband’s reply was instant. “I’ll break his face..”

Woohoo!! Lil one on two wheels!!

This calls for a celebration.. I didn’t expect it to happen so fast!!

As is obvious, I’m more excited than she is
