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”

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” 🙂
