Looks like Aditya inherited the Singampalli book reading gene. He reads books at the table, in the car, in the bath room, in bed and every place imaginable. I am amazed at his ability to understand and apply the concepts, at 5 years of age. Amara Chitra Katha books are his favorites and he reads Jataka Tales a lot, in which there is a story about an Ant and a Rogue Elephant. So one day, apparently, a bigger kid in school makes fun of Adi, saying "you are small". So, Adi goes, "You know, mighty brawn is no match for a nimble brain", repating the moral from the story, which I am sure went wayyyyyyyyyy over the other kid's head :-)
The only trouble now is he keeps asking me meaning of words, like "abode" and "propiate" and "hermitage" and "celibate". I need to teach him how to use a dictionary and I am home free!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
