First Homework

Hello

So the day arrived when Sahej brought home his first official home work. Official because last saturday also he got a homework, but because Sahej was enjoying Ooty and had skipped School, he was sparred. But this saturday, he got his work cut out and got a complete page as his homework. He had to write "1" on the space marked in the book.

True to his part, Sahej was not easy to his home work as well. I tried getting it completed on Saturday itself. But after a couple of lines, he got bored and started giving excuses. Some of them were "mere haath mein pain ho rahi hai"(my hand hurts), "mujhe mosquito kaat gaya hai"(mosquito is biting me), "mujhe egg khana hai"(i need an egg to eat). So after much excuses he finally was able to resist doing his homework. He slept early that day and was sparred from completing the task.

Next day, Sunday, we went to Gurudware. We had decided that once we reach home, we need to get the homework completed because after that Sahej would be hard to catch. So when we reached home, we both grabbed Sahej and his book and his pencil and tried to get the work done. And his excuses started again. He started crying and fought hard to not do his work. Finally after much persuation and begging and then finally bribing him with my ming mobile, he finally agreed to complete the page. It took less then 10 minutes for him to complete the homework. He and both of us were very happy that he had done his first home work.

We are already worrying about the next home works to come our way. But hope Sahej starts taking his work seriously and helps us in getting the task done.

Thanks
