the right fit

My dear son,
The family project this Saturday was pingu cake for you as you had been chanting for it for almost a week. Somehow during the summer break, while you were on a daily puja schedule with your grandmother, you had quietly learnt the benefits of chanting. It worked like magic for you this Saturday. However, chanting for a water-park theme cake is a little too much for my patience lever, especially since you just eat the fondant and not the cake itself.
This last one week, you have been obsessed about telling me a story about three friends – ironman, hulk and captain America. How hulk was angry and threw around cars, creating a lot of fire. I guess the fire troubled you. You wanted an explanation for hulk’s behavior. So I had to tell you the truth that Hulk wanted burger but his mom packed him a sandwich for lunch so when he saw that he became a big and green with anger and hence the fire. How did the story end? Captain America took Hulk for lunch to his house where his mom made burger for everyone and Hulk was not upset anymore. Which is why I have been telling your father I need to order the entire Avenger series since I was those kids who grew up reading diamond comics, not DC comics. I am sure you would not even know who Saabu is or how intelligent chacha Choudhary is. I will tell you in detail later.

The entire week, there was something we talked about daily. Either with each other, with friends, relatives, retailers and even your dance teacher. What kind of under-pants would make you comfortable the most. And we got lots of different answers. From no underpants, to cut ones, to long ones, cotton ones, etc. The jury is still out on that one but I am proud to say we have all the variety in colors and shapes for trial. However, you still look pretty uncomfortable to me.
