A crash course on America's Geography

My grand parents are here and they got me a jig-saw puzzle on America Map for my birthday. That evening I built the puzzle with the help of Uppili thatha and mastered almost all the fifty states. When Mom builds the puzzle and asks me 'Get me Wyoming or Utah', I can grab them and place right where mommy points. The best part of it was, each state has a picture famous for it. For example, Tennesse has a Guitar - meaning Country music. Florida has space shuttle etc. And I associate each state with the picture on it and that adds my General Knowledge. In three or four sittings I mastered all of the states. Am now working on Continents of the World.

Mommy's little helper

Mom was cleaning the kitchen floor. She sprayed disinfectant and was wiping it off with the towel. I grabbed a towel from Appa and cleaned a corner along with her. Similarly I started to arrange spoons and laddles at its appropriate places when mom takes dishes out of the dishwasher. When she cuts vegetables, I throw the skin in the trash. Am I not her little helper?

She wanted to improve her knowledge on Geography and posted a big world map at our living room. She was telling Appa that Satish athimber is leaving to India tomorrow. I asked her where India is and she showed it in the Map, saying Satish Athimber is going there. It was painted in orange colour. I spotted a pink Zambia and told I want to go there. She playfully taught me to identify about 10 different countries and for each country I named one of my friends going there like 'Sophia goes to green Australia, Cathy goes to orange Madagascar, Lauren goes to green China' and finally when amma wanted to go to Greenland, she spotted Greenland. I cried immediately 'No Its Pinkland'. Why is it called Greenland when its painted pink? Is she confusing me?
