Keep It Simple, Will Ya?

I had a long winded talk with my school going son that covered some of the following points:
* Go to school smiling
* Come back home smiling
* Make new friends
* Drink ample water and pee when you need to
* Eat your lunch
* Listen to the teacher
* Stand tall
* Be kind/considerate to your friends

But the basic gist / essence of what I conveyed was this-remember to have FUN and stay HAPPY.

Feeling supremely confident in my parenting abilities, I decided to revisit the conversation before he left for school this morning.

So, what is the most important thing you will do today at school, D?

I will pee, mama , replied sonny boy, with a satisfied grin on his face.
