conversation 1

We spent the whole morning in the bookstore. Mayar  was attacking her favorite cartoon books. I was reading the Amy Chua's "Battle hymn of the Tiger mother". Although I have already ordered the book from Amazon, I can not wait to start reading

Yesterday, after picking up Nayar from her violin lesson, she said:" Mom, she should have taken the violin lesson even you had not practiced enough.""Why?", "It will push you practice."I guess that it is the way she is thinking of her lessons. The truth is that we as her parents shared the same wish in this aspects. We wished that the lessons would keep the kids going and someday in the future she/he would be enlightened and thereafter work harder and eventually excel. I asked her "You are not compete with me, right?"She answered proudly Ï AM competing with you. The fact is I am ahead of you now." Ïf I take your challenge, you may loose.""We will see." It seemed that I need to practice harder in order to put a little pressure on her.
