Role reversal

It's funny how life goes a full circle. When the kids were small, I taught them the alphabet and told them stories about monsters and dinosaurs. Now, the role has reversed.

YK has a habit of imparting his newly acquired knowledge to me. Because he is so enthusiastic, I try to be attentive and look intelligent. Today, he tried explaining quantum physics and parallel universes to me. Of course, everything was a blur, I could barely grasp the concept.

It makes me smile when I think of our knowledge transfer. I've taught him the easy stuff, now's my turn to learn from him. I could be getting smarter. It's not a bad deal after all.

If he's so interested in Quantum Physics and parallel universe, he would definitely enjoy the sitcom Big Bang Theory.
