I am not surprised at all that kids would love you.
Well I tell you I was very nervous!
xD
But we are having such a blast now it is awesome!
I got the DVD "A Beautiful Mind" just for the awesome little guys and gals and especially for Bob
I am slightly worried about Bob in a way though I am actually very concerned but not because he is a fool but just the opposite,
He comes from a Hindu family that appear to have very strict rules about their Indian Religion (Hinduism) as Bob's good loving folks where Red Dots on their fore heads occasionally I have noticed.
Now there is
NOTHING wrong with being a Hindu at all I believe Hinduism has some great points to it and I am not picking on any one's religion AT ALL because religion is a very personal thing, however Bob keeps telling me:
"Why is there a Money God???
Why are Rands (he means money) so special to everybody and everything???"
(He said something like that I can't remember 200% now exactly what he said but never mind that because that is not the issue here.)
I kind of lied to him sadly (Look I am not proud of doing this but thought it was necessary at the time), and tried to come up with an "excuse" or a delay and said I will tell you tomorrow after the movie we are going to watch soonish because it is a very difficult thing to explain to him.
Bob happily agreed with me (Luckily!!!).
In a nut shell I am afraid he is going to
BATTLE with this parents about religion and freedom issues about prearranged marriages and all that.
So I really don't know what to say to this extremely brilliant, upbeat and bright little boy.
It is like Bob is an alien from another Dimension!!
I am trying hard to say what is best for him at his current stage of development in life.
I am a little concerned.
I wonder if his parents will dampen his spirit and this makes me pretty angry but I will not do anything stupid so don't stress but this still makes me angry.
When I see Bob, I see myself.
Christianity was forced upon me when I was very young.
I did not like Christianity as a youngster as it was forced upon me but does have it's good points,
(I AM NOT PICKING ON ANY ONE HERE REMEMBER THIS PLEASE)
I feel for you Bob.
I think he will have many battles and struggle for his freedom and rights sadly and have arguments with his parents just like I do even still today.
Anyway
I just want him to enjoy the movie today and let him relax a little because Bob can be very well... how do I say this?
Strung Out, Bob worries a lot about everything!
I will try to answer his questions without causing serious conflict with his folks and say "Listen to your parents they love you very much
"
I wish life was easier at times
Sigh
