Once my six year old son asked me: mom can you tell me why a human baby takes so long to walk on its own, while the young ones of animals walk immediately after birth?
有一次，我6歲的兒子問我：媽媽，你能告訴我爲什麼人類的小寶寶要那麼久才學會走路，但是那些動物寶寶生下來就會走路了呢？
I was still thinking and trying to give him the most appropriate answer, he came back with his simple answer almost immediately after he questioned: because humans have two legs, so we have to learn balancing like riding a bicycle, but animals have four legs, hence they stand firmly within minutes after birth.
我一直在想啊想，試圖給他個合適的答案，他卻是問了之後馬上告訴我了一個再簡單不過的回答：因爲人類只有兩條腿，所以我們要像學騎自行車一樣平衡自己，但是動物有四條腿，這樣他們生來就能平穩站立了。

Valuable lesson learnt from a five year old.
從我五歲孩子身上學到的珍貴的一課：
Little girl: Why do we call the man who picks up garbage bag from our home everyday as kachrawala(garbage man)?
Mother: Because he collects kachra(garbage)!
Little girl: How come he is kachrawala(garbage man). He collects garbage and keeps the environment clean. He should be called safaiwala(cleanliness man) and it is we who spread more garbage so we should be called kachrawala (garbage man).
小女孩：每天從我們家收垃圾的人，我們爲什麼要叫他“垃圾工”？
母親：因爲他收垃圾呀！
小女孩：怎麼叫他垃圾工呢。他清除垃圾，讓環境變整潔了。他應該被叫作“清潔工”呀，我們這些丟垃圾的人才應該被叫“垃圾工”呢！
