The best part of me
Dear Amy, ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ team and beloved readers,
I’m nothing if not a typical proud mother. At times, I like to get lost crossing the timeline just to look at his picture beautifully drawn at the kindergarten 3 years ago by the age of 4. It brings sweet memories to me:
Mom: My dearly beloved son, are you sure my legs are so long like that?
Son: Sure mom! Don’t you know you’ve already grown? Adults have long legs!
The most challenging dialogue (apart from one in which he defends his theory that his toys are alive as in Toy Story film):
Son: Mom, could I fly?
Mom: Dear me! No, of course not, only birds can fly.
Son: Hummm...
After some time...
Son: Mom, you’ve said only the birds can fly...there is an airplane flying over there.
Mom: Ok, you are right. The birds and the airplanes can fly because they have wings.
Son: What about the helicopter?
Mom: Rsrsrsrs...ok, birds, airplanes and helicopters can fly!
Son: But helicopters don’t have wings.
Mom: The helicopters don’t have wings but they have blades on top that go round and make it fly.
Son: And the superman...does he have wings or blades? ( he likes provoking me)
Mom: Nooo...he doesn’t have neither wings nor blades, but he has a red coat that...
He rushed to his room shouting:
Son: I have a red coat, mom!!!
I followed him:
Mom: Honey, please listen to me. You can’t fly. You don’t have wings, you don’t have blades. God made you with 2 legs because we were made to walk on the ground and not to fly, otherwise he would have made us with wings.
Son: Poor mom...she doesn’t know we can fly! Mom, I saw the superman flying on tv and he isn’t a bird, nor airplane, neither helicopter. He is like me. I can fly!
Mom: Oh my dear...I understand what you think but take it from me. You can’t fly. You cannot believe in everything you see on tv. The superman doesn’t exist. It’s just an image to make you believe it’s true.
Son: But mom...
Mom: Ok, this went too far! You can’t fly and if you jump over the window (we live in a flat), you will fall and die. And what do you see in superman? He doesn’t even have a mask. I think you should incorporate the spiderman. At least he only jump when he has already spun the web.
The continuation of the last blog:
The dentistry boss analysed my papers and test results, praised and said I could ask any question.
Me:Any question? So, you said you are happy with my results and I want to ask you (because I don't want to believe in illusions) if there is any hope for one who doesn't have a politcian to aid (all my friends had one).
Do you have any idea of what was his reaction? Imagine a bomb blowing up. He became furious. Extremely furious.
He said: I can assure you that if someone deserves, he/she will get it. After sometime, the results were: 3 classmates and me passed. I was very happy and I am still happy because I work there until today. But I think it was a luck so...don't do that!
Good night! See you tomorrow!
Adriana

Dear Adriana, This is the first time for me commenting on one of your blogs. After reading about your past, I felt compelled to write something. I am really amazed by your strong determination, hard working nature as well as by your intelligence. You are really brave and love to take any challenge. All of these combinations are certainly rare in one person. I think nothing, yes, nothing can keep you from achieving what you want honestly. I am really inspired. So, this was not luck, you deserve it:).
Hi Adriana! At last I can see what one of my readers looks like. Very glamorous! And what a great blog. Well done and keep it up.
Adri, you put me in a sentimental mood!!! I remember my son, then 4, when he came into the kichen and asked for something that could be helpful in his drawing and then spotted a dessert plate – ‘Oh yes, that would be good’ – he cried. – What are you going to draw? You mummy. A few years later he asked me very seriously: Mum, I think you are beautiful, can I write it in my homework. Oh, yes pleeeese !!!
Hello again!!! It's funny. I won't make the same as you in a work interview, but otherwise...You got the job. On the other hand, the children mind is fantastic. Things are seen different at these ages. See you!
Hello Adriana! I believe I am by guarantee not to first and the last but: how sweet ist this picture!!!! And that fun mother-son dialogues!!! Thank you for the view to you as a mother of a cut and intelligent son. As always your blog is very entertaining and I hope you´re having a lot of fun blogging here! Seemingly it is so... Greetings from Germany! Yvonne
Thanks a lot for the lovely discussion between son and Mum.
Hi Dri! Your Son is so cute. Congratulitions! You will write about ducks history in her home? I will like read it in english...
Hi!Adriana It's first time for me to write to you. I read your comments on other's blogs and have read your very interesting own blogs as well.I have been intrigued by today's blog.It sounds very much familar to me that happens every day with my son, who is 5 years.He brings all sort of deep subjects like deaths,natural disasters,gun crimes,fast cars,galaxy and so on.He never stops asking questions and try hard to get satisfied responses from me.When I was reading one of your blogs a few days ago He started asking about you."Where does she live and with whom"? I answered she lives with her family in Brazil.My son looked terriblely worried and said they should not live there because Brazil has a lot of volcanoes .We had read about Sugar Loaf Mountain in Rio de Janeiro in Brizil.I think he got the idea from it.When we watched Samba on telly the other day my son asked why the ladies flashed their belly buttons in front of people and he said they were very rude.It doesn't matter how hard I try to get his head round things he will insist his way of understanding is much better than mine.It's nice to meet you and i'll drop a line soon.PS:your son is very cute and the red shirt suits him.
Hi Adriana, kids sure can give us a hard time, can't they? And what a smart one you have. I guess he took after his mother. You are in for some much harder time in the future. Do you have only one child? Nice talking to you. Good day.
Hello dear Adri! As wonderful as always. I really liked reading your conversation with your son. I liked his drawing very much 'mum with long legs:)'. My sister also saw the drawing and she said, it shows how innocent he is. By the way what is he like as a son, a cheeky monkey or mama's boy? Naheed
Hi once again! I couldn't comment on your previous post, so, better late than never. When I read about your parents and how you worked hard to become a dentist, I felt for a while as I was reading about myself. My mother is a very simple woman and she never got a chance to study,while my father is an educated man and worked in a bank. I also wanted to become a dentist, but don't know when I realised that I was more interested in business education and got registered with CIMA. I don't work but I teach few children at home to bear the expenses of my education so that I don't give my parents hard time. Naheed :)
Hi, Adriana. You've very nice and clever son. This story amused me very
Hi Adriana! Aaaah! You have a 'golden boy' :-). Your son is very clever and cute. Of course, he looks after his mother, who is a very intelligent woman :-). See you soon, Ana Paula.
