There is this Kellogg’s cereal ad which airs on TV. The gist of the ad is that they promise some weight loss after having 2 bowls of Kellogg’s per day for 2 weeks which they call a challenge( Sure, the way Kellogg’s is priced, the worry itself of consuming so much of it would cause one to lose weight :)). The husband praises his wife who is getting ready for a wedding ‘coz she manages to fit into a skin-hugging outfit just by taking the challenge. Towards the end of the advertisement, the husband says, “Today, no one will look at the bride.” My son, Siddharth who was watching this commented, “What rubbish, mama. She does not look very good. Why would people look at her instead of the bride.” I had to laugh at the look on his face. I told him son, you have a long way to go in learning how to please/woo girls. The more outrageous the compliment, the more brownie points you score from the girls. He gave me a nice roll of his eyes and snorted:). It’s ok he is just 7, he will learn with time :).
P.S. Siddharth casually tells me during a conversation we are having yesterday that Mama, you like to lecture, don’t you 🙂 I had to smile at his candidness and tell him – not really! Again the eyes rolling !
