Sharp Memory

Last week Nandini got down with fever, so we took her to the doctor. She was all fine and quite on our way to the doctor's clinic. But as soon as we entered the clinic (which was empty, even the doctor was not there) she started shouting and crying and trying to make us take away. We had a rough time getting her inspected and diagnosed and Sonal had to take her out of the clinic while I took the prescription. Imagine what happened next. As soon Sonal took her out of the clinic she stopped crying and was back to normal.

We were taken by surprise by this reaction of hers. Soon we remembered a similar thing has happened the last time (a few months back) when we took Nandini to the doctor's place for her vaccination. Then she had started crying as soon as we moved her in position for the doctor to vaccinate her.

With the doctor not there and there didn't seem any reason why Nandini started crying as soon as we entered the clinic. The only reason that I can think of is that she remembered her last visit to the clinic and that something nasty was about to happen to her and that is why she created the ruckus.

From a child of 17 months this was a pleasant surprise.
