The
breakfast table was unusually quiet. That should have warned me. But I was
completely unprepared for the bolt that struck.
"Appa", said Daivik in a rather contemplative tone, "do you know everything?" (!!)
No darling, I most certainly don't. (otherwise I will be out of job !). But how to tell that ?
Holding my breath, I asked "what, exactly, do you want to know?". Turned out, the pressing question was why we don't see dinosaurs on streets.
Phew, what relief !
"well" I said "they disappeared long before there were any streets anywhere".
I was preparing the best possible answer for the next WHY question that was bound to follow. Instead he seemed to accept it.
A few moments later he even complemented me. "see", he said, "you know everything".
