V left early this morning for a business trip and will be away for a couple days. My conversation with Ashwini when she was getting ready for school.

Me: Ashwini, do you know that Aai is not going to be here for 2 days. A: Yes. She told me last night. I’ll be your big helper. Me: Will you help me get Adit ready? A: I’ll do anything you want. When you go away, I am a big helper for Aai. She just asks me a “flavor” and I do all her “flavors”.

She is very helpful in making sure that all the lights are turned off and all the doors are closed so, Adit doesn’t get to stairs. Oh, yeah… I forgot to mention… her official designation is “light turn-offer”.
