the pink balloon these days my daughter is very happy when she received balloons specially the pink ones. no wonder girls get associated with pink colour very quickly she loves to play with the balloon feels sad when it bursts and is never ready to give it out to someone she will share any other colour of balloon but not the pink one. it was a Sunday evening and we had planned a small outing some shopping followed by dinner. post lock down this was our first outing and we were all were very excited. It was the winter evening we were enjoying the winter season. with the sweaters and shawl on we were travelling on a bike. done with shopping and some Window shopping unhappily roaming on the roads. while I was searching for some pretty tops someone gifted pink balloons to my daughter from the decoration of the shop it says the shop had recently opened but my daughter was more than happy to receive the balloon specially the pink. on the way we thought of buying some veggies and fruits.the roadside vendors were shouting to sell out their articles. it was very crowded some small children were moving around asking people for some money or some stuff to eat we tried and help some kids providing them something to eat it was really cold and I felt very bad looking at those kids moving on the road bare foot. They had no sweaters nor any warm clothes.
My daughter some balloons in her and enjoying and struggling to hold them on bike.
She saw those poor kids looking at her and asked Mumma why are they sitting on road, why don't they go home.
I explained her they are poor do not have warm clothes, house to Live in.
She felt sad. Don't they go to school. I said no baby they do not have enough money to go to school.
She could not understand but looking at her balloons and the kids sitting quietly feeling cold. She asked Mumma should I give them balloon.
I smiled at her and said yes. We stood for a while, the children rushed to us,looking at what was in our hand.
My daughter called one small kid and gave them balloons and said share with your friends also.I was overwhelmed with her understanding no behaviour.Such proud moment for parents that kids at hardly age of five understand sharing.
I guess it's up to us how we make them. Understand value of small things, pleasures and how to get happiness.
