“My Maths book has a mistake”, my older one informed me. “There
is a question, ‘which are the only two months that are next to each other and
have 31 days?’. The question is wrong, isn’t it?”
“Of course not. There are two months that are together that have
31 days”, I snapped; irritated that at nearly nine, he still didn’t know the
calendar.
“You are talking about July and August, aren’t you?”, he
asked. “But what about December and January. They have 31 days too, and they
are next to each other.”
And you know what, he was right!
“I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.”

This is the fourth year that I am going to be a part of NaBloWriM. The Plan is to elaborate on a quote that touched my heart- let's see how far this takes me. If I can tie it in with the writing prompt, so much the better!
