Imagination Gone Wild

It's been 3 weeks since the summer holidays began and for some reason I feel as though I have been super busy - cannot fathom doing what though! The days and weeks have just flown by and although each day I think of updating the blog, I have not been able to.

For the last 3 weeks, my best part of the day is when Adi gets back from his summer camp. He is full of laughter, still excited about the day and so full of stories - some real and some where his imagination has gone wild! Everyday there is something new and makes me wonder if he does anything at the summer camp at all or is just spending his time day dreaming away. He has been super imaginative about what happens in his tennis class and I have been meaning to capture it as his stories are really quite funny and I have to try really hard to keep a straight face and act as though I believe each word that he says!

Anyway, here are some snippets of Brat's imagination gone wild. All are incidents that 'supposedly' happened during his tennis class and things that he learnt in class - really makes me wonder if he does anything in his class at all or just day dreams his time away!

1. We bought new sports shoes for Adi and he was really excited to wear it to summer camp. The first day of wearing his new shoes, he came and told me that there was a mini tornado in the school grounds (a mini tornado is one that doesn't carry away people along with it but destroys everything along its way) and everyone was scared and ran away. But he was not afraid and waited for the tornado to come near him and when it did, he stepped on it with his new shoes and the tornado just fizzled away. And thus, he rescued everybody at school.

2. The highest point in tennis is scored when the ball goes as high as the Eiffel tower

3. When tennis Sir hit the ball, it almost went up to the Sun

4. Most of the days, Adi comes back and tell me he hit a Sixer and a Hundred - What?? In tennis???

5. His racquet is made by Head and is so strong that even if a fire ball hits it, it wont break since its made of metal

6. A King Cobra (which eventually turned into a Anaconda as the story progressed!) appeared in the tennis ground. I missed the bit where the Anaconda came in - so the story continues with the Anaconda. Adi took out all the poison from the Anaconda and froze the poison. And then he kicked the Anaconda into space and told him never to return back to earth again!! This was followed by lots of giggles about how the Anaconda are now too afraid to come back to earth :)

Apart from the tennis class incidents, Adi has been telling me stories about how the dinosaurs became extinct. Apparently there were these tiny little toads (which were so small that they were almost invisible) which attacked the dinosaurs and killed all of the them. After a couple of days, the story was modified - and instead of toads it was mosquitoes which killed all the dinosaurs (before they could lay more eggs) and made the dinosaurs extinct. In fact, when he saw a few mosquitoes inside the house last night, he panicked and said 'mama, let me get the mosquito repellent, otherwise they will kill us like how they killed the dinosaurs'!! I had to then quickly explain that mosquitoes cannot kill humans - which of course was followed by lots of questiosn!!

Don't know where he gets these stories from, but its real fun listening to him :)
