Tender Technology

Imagine my delighted surprise when I walked in onto my daughter and my mother-in-law playing one of their favourite games.

On the iPad.

Now, little R is a tech-connoisseur. She was quite proficient with the iPad before she was a year old - and- at the risk of sounding like a gloating parent- can manoeuvre her way through the myriad of icons, knowing exactly where to press what. 

She also likes to play those home-grown, age-old traditional 'Akkad bum bum' and 'Aam-wale' with her Dadi.

Dadee, dadee, dadee- she'll go, hitching up her frock just like Dadi does her salwar for fear of being soiled in the muck.

So- R and Dadi- hunched over the iPad, playing Animasher (R's rendition of Ant Smasher) and as Dadi squashed the ants, R let out peal after peal of cackly laughter. And to add to her merriment, she all but guided Dadi's hand to be bitten by the big bee. As Dadi squealed yeoww to amuse her, R jumped with joy and called me to join in the fun!

Thank you, iPad!
