A small girl came to my house today.
She was all of four.
As she saw me without any remorse she said," Why you so fat?"
I looked at her amazed.
But why? It was such a simple question.
I mumbled an answer and thought why aren't we so simple when we grow up.
Why are we taught
to fake our emotions. Hide our feelings, questions, anger?
And then I looked at her parents who almost looked embarrassed
and I knew the answer to my why.

have come across a short, simple, wonderful post after a long time...
somehow, reminded me of this story-- a girl, has a little baby brother.. they bring him home and that night, the mother sees her entering the nursery on the tip toe. She overhears her saying, "Ma says you came straight from God. Tell me how he's like, I think I am starting to forget"...
