October 14. “How are you doing, Button? And since you have climbed down from your throne and made your way right here beside me, spot one item on this table that I have put on it today.”

“That’s rather easy because I saw sir giving it to you. It’s that figure of Lord Ganesha.  And it’s stunning.”

“You’re very observant.”

“My life’s very boring.”

“It’s boring because you think it’s boring. By the way, did you see that power-point presentation I just saw of that little boy and girl doing the ballet? Weren’t they absolutely brilliant? I held my breath watching them.”

“I saw them too. They were amazing. Can I learn to dance like them?”

“Why not—though I think it’s a bit late and you have put on some weight recently.  Did you see how young they were?”

“Then maybe in my next life! But what will I be born as?”

“Would you like to be born as that little girl or boy?”

“I don’t know. I am confused.”
