Naming each day

Yesterday, on a Tuesday, I was diligently tutoring didi and meimei at home in the afternoon.

Working on a question, didi had cracked his head and asked me if the answer he had is correct. I looked at it, and told him where the trick lied in. His eyes opened up enlightened and asked something about why the question is asked in such a way.

I was dumbfounded and said nonchalantly, that's because it's a tricky question, and today's a tricky Tuesday. His lips curved into a grin admist a long hour of strenuous revision with them. And then we went on naming each day as manic Monday, wacky Wednesday, freaky Friday, scary Saturday, sunny Sunday.....

Didi is mostly enjoying coming up with different ones that we have a good laugh about some of them and boy, I wonder how long this game gonna lasts as its not showing any signs of stopping. I had to threaten them that I will kick them out of my room if there were another word.

But yeah, it sure was fun and made them think of more words to follow the alphabets and name those 7 days. Maybe tomorrow I ask them to name the months also.
