Memorable Drawing Competition

Yesterday when Raj came home from school he was very excited to tell me that he had participated in a drawing competition.

"Inspite of Pa telling me every now and then, that Drawing is not in our Genes, yet I have taken the decision to participate"- Raj

I was speechless for a second as I am preety sure that Raj is not an Artist. But equally knew that Raj would'nt give up things very easily.

"I will be drawing An Elephant"- Raj.
"Oh thats so simple"- I exclaimed.
After lunch Raj began his mission seriously. I too was busy with my household work.

 After an hour...
"Raj, Its time to go for Badminton class"- Me
"Mom, I am going to sacrifice it today"

After another 2 hours....
Raj, your friends are calling u downstairs to play"-Me
"Gonna sacrifice it too, Mother"

In the evening our living room was full of scattered papers with different sketches of Elephants(look-alikes). Now it was my time to accompany him. I joined him.
"I'll draw an Elephant and show it to u"- Me

He handed over a paper and a pencil to me. I struggled hard and ended up with a picture of a so called 'bent-Elephant' in his words. Even after realising my mistake, since I love to argue I did the same thing over here.

I was falling short of arguments, and could'nt put up against my child; so ran and picked up my cell and called his Pa who alone could protect me from Raj.

When Pa came home Raj handed over the pencil and paper to him and asked him to try his hands on the Elephant. Pa looked at me and the only thing I could do then was to wish him luck. Pa's picture was worse, leave alone an elephant, it did'nt even look something nearby to any animal.

Raj concluded,

I am sure there are going to be atleast few of them like you Mom and Pop and so I can easily surpass them with my drawing.
