One of Ashwin's favourite stories is a modified version of the Icarus story. In my story, Icarus wants to fly and touch the Sun against his father's warning. He goes ahead and does it but the wings melt when he is close to the sun and he falls down and gets hurt. He apologises to his father for not heeding his words and his father takes him to the doctor. Ashwin's favourite part of the story is where the doctor gives him an injection and puts cream and sticker and gives him some medicine and gives him a candy and he becomes OK again. Until a few days ago, I was unsure if he understood any other part of the story...
He mused over the story in his bed for a few minutes and then asked:
Why didn't Icarus go to the moon instead? The moon is not hot you know...

In other news, my due date has come and gone and the big bwother in waiting has no baby sister to show for it...
