Why I won't ...

          I was back home after visiting some place. I came back with a headache and was dreaming of taking a nap shortly after reaching home. Others wanted to go someplace and they were waiting for me to get back. And my nephew decided to keep company for uncle. The elders tried to cajole the youngster to go along but the kid stood his ground. Uncle tried to encourage the nephew by promising the others that he will teach the nephew an action song for nursery kids for his school program. Uncle knows the kid absolutely hate this particular song where one is supposed to flap his hands and pretend to be a small sparrow and sing a silly song. But the kid decides to take a chance..

        Before leaving, the elders instruct the kid to be nice and learn the song by the time everyone is back. The kid is watching cartoon on TV and the TV blushes with all that attention from the kid at this moment..

          Evening comes. Now only the nephew and uncle are at home. They decide to fix a couple of drinks. Uncle fix a stiff black coffee. Nephew stand on a chair and fix a black coffee that is stiff in sugar. While the maneuver is on, uncle spill some sugar. Now everyone knows it doesn't look good when a 45 year old uncle spill sugar when a 5 year old kid is around. Uncle implores the kid to own up just for this once. Promises him that if he gets beaten for it, uncle will massage his seat very nicely for all he likes. And what does the kid do? He flatly refuses. Says he knows his mother won't punish uncle anyway...

     Well, that is why I didn't teach anyone any nursery song.
