Vi: Mumma, what is Visarjan?
Me: When you put Gumm Bappa in the water at the end of the ten days festival
Vi: Why do we put him in water?
Me: So that he can go home
Vi: But his home is in the heaven, which is in the sky
Me: Well... Uhhh... The sea or water goes up to the sky. Why don't you try to make a drawing of Gumm Bappa going up to heaven in the water (hoping to needle her diagramming urge; she gets really charged about certain ideas, and this one seemed like one that would)
Vi: Mumma, I know about the water cycle and how water goes to the sky by evaporation. But how does Gumm Bappa's statue go up? You are not understanding my question!

*I HATE GROWING UP!*
Gumm Bappa has a tiny flying capsule rocket at the bottom of the sea. At night when everyone has gone home and slept, he boards it and shoots straight up to heaven.
ReplyDeleteI had hoped she would illustrate the whole 'process' making a water slide from the sea up to the heaven. But 'Sigh'ence won the day. :/
