Yesterday night: 11.30pm.
Anjali and I are lying down in the bed. Husband is at the computer. Sophia is sleeping peacefully next to me, on the other side.
Anjali: Mummy,m i dont want to go in the deep swimming pool.
Me (given the lateness of the hour): Ok. You can go to the shallow swimming pool
Her: Will you come with me in the shallow pool?
Me: Yes, i'll come with you
her: Will you hold my hand in the baby slide down?
Me: I'll hold your hand.
Her: I dont want to go to the swimming pool
Me (opening one eye): Why?
Her: Its very deep. I dont want to go.
Me: Well, let's go in the shallow pool
Her: I dont want to go to the shallow pool. I dont want to go to the swimming pool anymoie
Me (Both eyes open): I can hold your hand Anjali. Swimming is good for you and for Sophia. We'll go to the pool and have fun.
Her (very adamant): I dont want to go
Me: lets talk about it in the morning when you are feeling better. Want to go to fidgets this weekend?
Her: Yes. I want to go in the big slide down.
Me (cuddling up) : good. now go to sleep.
Her: I dont want to go in the aeroplane, I dont want to go in the rowing boat
Me: How will you go to Romania without an aeroplane? You'll walk?
Her: Yes
Me: Well, you'll be big before you get there.
Her: Will you come with me?
