Mani nadam-1

2 years ago while Mani was at Montessori Nursery (topic- Space)
Manikutty(MK): Acha
Achan: yes, molae
Manikutty: Acha are there people in Space in other planets like there are in Earth
Achan: No idea molae...It is possible :-)

Last year at Fairfield (Topic- even and odd numbers)
Manikutty: Acha, 2,4,6,8 etc are even numbers and 1,3,5, 7 are odd?
Achan: yes, that is correct
MK:Is Zero an odd number or even number?
Achan: Not sure molae
MK: I think it is even
Achan: why?
MK:because the pattern is even, odd, even ,odd...so as 1 is odd and 2 even, the pattern should be that zero is even...
Achan: I think you are right....
More Maninadams to come.......

very logical indeed. excellent thinking! another dimension to the wordsworthian quote "child is the father of man". wish she doesn't lose it in the years to come as kids think -quite basic- which may be the right logic. however as one grows up they tend to drift away from basics and sound illogical as we find in many an adult around.
anyway the "nadams" (liked the usage v much) mentioned are quite superior...hats off to her!
