The First Miracle

It was in the year 2002, when Abhishekh was all of 4 years old we had sent him to Sunday School at the local Methodist Church.

The Sunday School Teacher had taught the children about the story of Jesus first Miracle at Canaa wherein the host of the wedding had run out of wine. He was running helter skelter to get some wine.

The Sunday School Teacher asked the children - "So what would you do if were faced with the problem as that of the bride's father and the wine all ran out ?"

No hands went up till our son's hand raised up eagerly.

The teacher asked "Yes, Abhishekh - what would you do ?"

He responds - "I would take my credit card and swipe at the nearest ATM and get some money to buy some wine"

I think the Good Sunday School Teacher fainted.

Caught pulling a skirt up !

One sunny spring day in 2003, my wife and I got a call to come to Junior's school, and the Headmistress sounded very distressed.

So my wife and I rushed over to the school and we knew he would be practising for the junior school play and so went to the school auditorium.

The teacher looking slightly hesitant and told us that whilst they were all rehearsing for the play, Junior was sent to the back of the stage and was teasing all the girls by raising their skirts with a walking stick ( he was playing the role of Fagin in Oliver Twist).

Apparently all the girls were squealing and running around whilst the rehearsal was going on and soon enought the young "eve teaser" was apprehended.

A strict session of counselling began and that is when they decided to call us over.

So there we were - two very red faced parents listening to the escapades of our home grown Romeo.

When we confronted him, he just shrugged it off nonchalantly stating it was just for fun and in any case they were tights underneath so there was no big deal !
