The Question of Ancestors

On Sep 13th, we were on our way to Leela palace to pick up Mary. Anjali was carrying a book - 'Baby Animals'. She was flipping through the pages and saw baby monkeys.

She said with a smile - 'Daddy, look here - Vishu and Manu's (her cousin) ancestors.'

I told her - 'They are everybody's ancestors, sweetipie. Where do you think you came from?'.

She closed the book, lifted her face and with closed eyes and blissful expression, said confidently -

'I have come from Angels, Daddy'.

I didn't have any more questions to ask her. I put my arms around her and gave her a tight hug with, of couse, a proud daddy smile on my face.
