Dads don't get it!

Taran and Roshan love being outdoors especially on their scooters and bicycles. But I am not a huge proponent of them cycling on the driveway 'coz it is rather steep and have been a cause of multiple "boo-boos". After spending a mini fortune on Band-Aids and refusing to contribute any further to the top line of J&J, I told them they can not cycle on the driveway. Of course, Ritesh chooses to ignore the "rules" and not only does he let them cycle on the driveway, he himself cycles there and flouts another rule i.e. does it without his helmet!!! Taran and Roshan are mamma's boys and immediately point it out to him that he is flouting the rule. Now fast forward to today:
Today, while we were having a picnic dinner a.k.a dinner on our porch where the kids have a picnic bench, the boys noticed our neighbor taking his daughter and her friend cycling. When he let the kids all the way to the garage through the rather steep drive-way, Taran chuckled "All dads are the same. They just don't know!"

ha ha..wonder he'll do when he grows up - what his mom taught him or what's entrenched in his genetic makeup!!

Should save these blogs to gift the kids on their wedding!!

It's a good thing they have realised this fact of life early on. Will save them the headache in the future!
