Toon & Teen

Our recent visit to HomeCenter at 'Lifestyle' brought out an interesting incident. As we were browsing through the ' Interiors' section, the soon-to-be-five year old was taking a close look at a lamp shade with cartoons on it, and declared, 'I like this!'. His teenage sister who has to share the room with him when we move to our flat said , 'It is time you show some maturity and stop looking at such baby stuff. Look at something more elegant that makes the room look better. Grow up now so that we can get on with life ....'
The sternness of her innuendo drove the message of disapproval so strongly that he quietly moved away from the object that had all his attention.
