New World Order.. In the Now

Nandita always says ‘I want this .. in the now’. Yes, for a 3 year old, I suppose time is only now..and well, for a demands a 3 year old can make, mine tops the toppers.
She is constantly seeking something else than what currently is.
Eg., she will decide whether I should wear glasses or not, its very simple – she has bought the olden days (i.e, those days when I was a kid) Rs.20 plastic goggles which one got from the roadside .. but then, that was then, and this is now. Now, she has got it from the air-conditioned plush optical ‘showroom’ for only Rs.280 (with inflation, there’s the branding and the location which we shouldn’t forget in order to justify the price).
I always drift, always a problem. But then, thankfully, I am back..
It’s simple cos I can wear glasses when she wears them and I remove mine when she removes hers. And how does she decide when the glasses are on and when they are off – again, that’s a silly q cos all 3 year olds act on a logic called ‘whim’.

So she says, ‘take off your glasses, in the now’ In the Now is always said in English, am only translating the rest here.

One more such instance, ‘Siddharth should not wear the green pant’. Again the logic is unquestionable you see.

So, as a responsible adult and more so as the mother, I analyse and realize that what she is asking for is a new world order.

Constantly, constantly.. and if the world order doesn’t change, then, it’s again very simple. She starts crying, that’s the appetizer, and continues to the main course and the dessert.. she bawls like there is no now also!! However much you try to divert the topic (and like we’ve seen, am pretty good at digressing) she is back, bang on to the same Q, asking for the New World Order…

Am sure when she grows up and if she gets to read this, she will stoutly deny it through her own blog which probably she will start off in the next couple of years... talk of Gen X!!!

Again, the only point is sometimes I wish we had a New World Order.. if that had to be implemented, can anyone guess where I would begin from???
