The urban giraffe

Heard in the playarea, an exclamation ; "Look, giraffes!!!!"

The kids present there, came rushing to see...Giraffes in the condo?

Soon came the loud protests from the kid brigade : "Those are not giraffes, those are cranes!"

She insisted, "But they look like giraffes, see that's the long neck and that's the face...."



Five minutes later she continued her walk, leaving a few excited kids admiring the 'giraffes' with the colored faces!


Whatever happened to imagination?

OMG!!!
that is exactly what i'd said when i had shifted to that apt in dubai.. they DO look like giraffes!!!!
well.. of course, there were no kids around.. .but my team spread the world that i was crazy after that. :(

but i still maintain.. they DO look like giraffes... they should paint spots on them and THEN see!

Children and their imagination are untapped to a large extent !

Encouraging them to see parallels and live life king size in their minds is so very important !

Jaya said...

Sumana, Joy:
they do don't they? just wish i had taken a better pic, but then i'd have to be half the size of a giraffe myself:)


rayshma::
you mean to say, I'm as crazy as you?!!! let me go and digest that bit of news,...:D
and yes, they do look like giraffes, ..*stamping foot to emphasize the point

kavi,
this was one of the pics i wanted interpreted in the 'kavi' style? and yes, encouraging them to think without fear of being right/wrong is so important.
