Betty the Bat.. or Beta the Bat... or Bat the Betty..
That was such a big confusion. It was just two days to go and Mummy and I could not figure out which would be the right one.
Betty the Bat was one of the night-time creatures that Khushboo Aunty told me at Honeybees. It was all fine in the classroom, but now I had to become one and go to Honeybees. Now how could I be Betty... Betty is a girl no!! And I am a boy!!
That is why Mummy and I were discussing which one was it to be. Finally we left it saying we will consult Dadu and Papa and then take a decision.
By then, I was also struck with some very basic questions. It is one thing to read about night time creatures and another to become one.
I told Mummy - "Mummy, I dont want to become a BAT."
Mummy - "Why Keshav? What is the problem?"
K - "Mummy, I don't want to be a black BAT. It is so dirty. I only want to be a bear!!"
M - "Hmmm.."
K - "Also, I dont want to be hanging upside down in the class. Then I will see everything upside-down."
M - "Don't worry Keshav. Khushboo Aunty will not hang you upside-down"
Finally, it wasn't so bad. Mummy made my BAT dress and I quite enjoyed wearing it. See see...
