Nikispeak again!

This time it was after security check in Orlando airport. Nikita and I went thru TSA PreCheck and breezed thru in fifteen seconds. As we were waiting for Sharmila and Natasha to clear thru the normal security lines, I jokingly suggested to Nikita “Let’s take the train and go to the terminal. They have their boarding passes with them. They can always come there by themselves”.

She got extremely concerned by my attitude. “Dad, you have no heart”!

And in three seconds added, “Just like your hair”

Nikispeak this morning

Niki and I were discussing geometry as we waited at the airport. We were talking about octagons when she excitedly said “You know dad, how I remember that octagon has eight sides”? I asked her “How”?

“Remember octo-mom? She had eight babies. That’s how”, she said!

And in my mind I went “I wish I had such props to remember my math when I was growing up” 🙂

One more Nikispeak

This morning I wrapped up office early and came home to pack up. We were leaving for Florida for spring break.

Finished packing and all travel logistics and still had time in hand. So, I slipped into my night clothes and hit the bed to catch some sleep. (Readers of previous post must have sensed the additional satisfaction I had of having the whole bed to myself 🙂 ).

Sometime later, Nikita came back from school. She was not expecting me at home, far less sleeping at that time. Upon seeing me, she went back downstairs straight to Sharmila and asked “Did he lose his job?”
