And then Saturday

Friday was a late night. Rati, Dwija and I stayed up late talking. And then next day, I was dragging. I think we all were. I remember laying on Gokula’s floor watching Kunji play with a Transformer. I think I remember that. Kunji got restless and someone suggested indoor miniature golf or maybe seeing the Christmas lights at the park.

We opted for the Christmas lights, but first we went to a small nature museum/play room. They had masks and puppets. Gokula and Kunji did both…

The Christmas lights were not a disappointment.

The miniature golf course was in the mall in Ohio. It was lit with black lights and had a glow like if Van Gogh painted on velvet.

Kunji was the winner.

I don’t remember if we did this on Saturday night, but Kunji had developed a game. It involves a disposable white plastic cup. He would throw the cup slightly above me and I would bat it back and forth in the air while he would do a little dance. This was “killing demons.” I’m not sure of the specifics of the rules to this game, but it would last for hours. Children, especially four year olds, have no concept of time, no loss of energy and worst of all, no reason to give adults a chance to rest. It was amazing to see. Would have been inspirational if I hadn’t been exhausted.

That was Saturday.
