An old father asks his son, “What is that sound?” The son says, “It’s the washing machine, Papa.” An hour later, the father asks again. The son, irritated, says, “I told you, washing machine.” The father opens his diary and reads: “Today, my 5-year-old son asked me 15 times what a crow is. Each time, I hugged him and answered with love.” The son cries. The father smiles. They go back to watching TV. No words. But the chai is still warm.
