Kids are always kids !!!

 I had written an article few days ago how my nephew Aniruddha listed down the countries participating in football world cup.

He listed down all the 48 countries correctly  !!!

I was little skeptical about this fact.

So, this time I asked him to tell the name of the countries who have made it to round of 32.

I thought this would be tricky. I was confident that he will back away this time   !!!

But believe it or not.....

Aniruddha was able to list down  !!!

Me  :  Aniruddha, all the 3 host countries of FIFA world cup are qualified for knockouts.

            Can you name them ??

Aniruddha :  its very easy !!!

                          Mexico, Canada and United States......

Me  :  I know it was easy.

           There were only 3 countries......

           Can you name the other countries who have reached the knock out  ??

Aniruddha :  As you say ....

After finishing,  Aniruddha stopped to take a breath.
