Teacher : "What's your favourite food, Gautham "
Gautham : "Pappadom, ma'am"
Teacher : "What's your favourite healthy food, Gautham"
Gautham : "Banana, ma'am "
Teacher : "What's your favourite green leafy vegetable, Gautham"
Gautham : "I don't have a favourite there, ma'am "
Teacher: "But still.., name one.."
Gautham: "Mother's bamboo plant, ma'am "
Teacher: "Bamboo plant..?- but we don't eat bamboo leaves, no, Gautham"
Gautham : " That's why i love it, ma'am, because mother doesn't ask me to eat it".
Ma'am swallowing the lump in her throat, said : " That's because bamboo is not a leafy vegetable, Gautham "
Gautham : " But you said Panda eats bamboos. Isn't it Panda's vegetable then. I don't like my vegetables ma'am, i love only Panda's "
Listening to the confessions of my little boy shoots up my BP- Montessori education may be good for children, but a torture for the teachers and mothers definitely
