Locker

Looking at the locker of our new wardrobe and opening it several times, Mishti asked-

Mishti - What is this Mamma?
Me - A locker
Mishti - Can I keep my clothes here?
Me - No it is for precious things?
Mishti - Like me?
Me - While busy in arranging clothes..."yes"
Mishti - Then you will keep me here?
Me - Laughing... No you are the living most precious thing. This is for a nonliving precious thing.

Next two days Mishti tried keeping everything she felt was precious in the locker and I rejected each one of them to be precious..

2 days later...
Mishti - Mamma you said books are precious
Me - yes
Mishti - ( with a spark in her eyes as if she got the answer to a great mystery) Then let's keep books in the locker.
