Daivik was nibbling away his food, left elbow stationed on the table, head bent slightly, and unusually silent. Now, quietness and Daivik usually do not go together. I could infact sense something going on in his brain. Sure enough, he started off.
"Mummy"
"Yes Daivik"
"You have a watch that is glittering"
"Yes Daivik"
"The coins that the pirates take from their treasures is also glittering"
"Yes Daivik"
Hmmm, I was wondering what exactly was he arriving at when he made the giant intellectual leap. A glittering watch in real life and the image of a glittering coin in a picture book can be pieced together.
"So Mummy", he asked, "were you pirates before?"
Yes, Daivik. We were. That is exactly how we are financing you.
