7-Dec-2009 9.30 PM (I was in the middle of some very important office work at home)
Aditya: Appa! I have a question?
Me: Yes Aditya!
Aditya: Why do we say sorry?
Me: Well! when you do something wrong, hurt someone or dropped something....or broke something....then you feel really really apologetic about that act.... and say "Sorry!"
Aditya: ....and it also means that you wont repeat that again....
Me: Yes! thats a good understanding...
Aditya: Well then I think for one act we are expected to say sorry but we never stop doing that again! so...whenever you do that you don't have to say sorry!!!
Me: mmm....I don't think there is anything like that...whenever you say sorry you should realize the mistake and you should stop doing that again
Aditya: No...for this thing we can't stop doing that again...
Me: Aditya! keep it simple and quick...Appa is working...
Aditya: Yes Appa...all human beings and animals expell gas (he actually said f??t) and it is quite natural....
....and we are expected to say sorry......or excuse me...
...........but can we really stop that... even if we were apologetic?
Me: ??????
Note: I din't felt embarassed by this question....My son is growing and let me really get prepared to face him. Its getting really tough these days. Anyone to feel sorry about me? Experienced Dads!!! can you share your experiences?
