"Do not board the school bus today at 12, okay Ved?", Ravi reminded Ved that morning. This was different from Ved's norm of boarding the bus from his Kindergarten to his after school program. But on that particular day, I was going to pick him up early from school for his dentist's appointment.
"But Daddy, can you just write a note for my teacher because I might forget," said Ved. "I have too many things to remember."
"What do you need to remember, Ved?" asked Ravi, somewhat surprised.
"Blood, Flood, Fire", blurted out Ved. Seeing the surprise on our faces, he explained, "My teacher says that we should not interrupt the class unless there is blood, flood, or fire in the class. Sooooo, I need to remember blood, flood, fire."
If only I could think of such brilliant ways for Ved to pay attention!
