Kids are always kids !!!!

 My nephew Aniruddha is now in Bangalore..


So I asked him this question over the phone.


Tell the name of a country not having letter 'a' in it ???


Without thinking for a second also, he said  UK.


I said Tell the full name. 


He said United Kingdom.


I didn't think of that. 


I pressurized him to say more names 


He went silent.


I was happy that finally I have asked a question for which he is struggling to answer  !!!!


Aniruddha was able to tell the names of countries when he started to go to play school. 


I thought what is bothering him now ???


Finally he spoke up ....... 


He said   Egypt.....   Sweden....... Chile..... Belgium..... Fiji...... Congo...... Niger...... Turkey..... Philippines....., Czech Republic...... Peru.... Cyprus......


He went on listing out the countries...... 


Now I knew why he went silent few seconds back .......!!!!!


I cursed myself for underestimating him.......!!!!!
