Un Behaved!<\/strong><\/p>\n Tiger had just done something adorable, and I couldn’t help but mention it to Pumpkin who was sitting right across me. I was soon to be reminded that she had her own special relationship with him…<\/p>\n Papa: Isn’t Tiger a sweet little boy?!<\/p>\n Pumpkin: Yes, papa. But, sometimes Tiger is also a little not sweet and a little not unbehaved!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n In another incident, just a few days after that, I found myself scolding Pumpkin on something she’d just done that was trying my patience. Now, I’ve promised her and the wife that I will keep my temper in check and be more patient with the kids. But, I was quite unprepared for Pumpkin’s remark:<\/p>\n Remember, papa, God is watching you…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n North Pole’s taste?<\/strong><\/p>\n One fine morning, Pumpkin posed an interesting question to me:<\/p>\n Pumpkin: Papa, do you know what the North Pole tastes like?<\/p>\n Papa: No, I don’t!<\/p>\n Pumpkin: I know what it tastes like. Do you want to know?<\/p>\n Papa: Yes, tell me!<\/p>\n Pumpkin: It tastes like peppermint! Do you know how I know?<\/p>\n Papa: No, Pumpkin. Tell me how you know that.<\/p>\n Pumpkin: Well, I saw on the ‘Winnie the Pooh’ DVD that when Pooh went to meet Santa at the North Pole, he met with Santa’s snowman and all his helpers and tasted Santa’s candy too. And that tasted like “peppermint”!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Now you know.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u00a0 Un Behaved!
