Shikhar has strict TV viewing rules (Atleast thats what we think..because he always gets his way talking to his grand parents) ....when we reach home at 6PM, smoky (Our weieramaraner) starts barking ..a good indication that we have arrived. So he has 50seconds to turn off the TV and run to his room ...
ACT1: He hears the dog bark, switches off the TV and sits on the diwan
ACT1 Caught: I switch on the TV, cartoon network is coming ...he is caught.
ACT2: This time he gets more creative ..He hears the dog bark, switches off the TV and runs to his room.
ACT2 Caught: I go to his room and he is panting...ask him why, he is caught
ACT3: He hears the dog bark, he changes the channel and then switches off
ACT3 Caught: I switch on the TV, press swap button, voila! Cartoon network ..he is caught
ACT4: He hears the dog bark, he changes channels few times and then switches off
ACT4 Caught: I switch on the TV, some weird channel is on ...was sure it was cheekoo's work. But this time, I lock all kids channel and switch off
ACT5: He swiches on the TV, uses the remote to unlock all channels. View it and then lock it again and switch off.
ACT5 (Not caught): I got to know he was watching TV from the maid ...so I lock them again but when I am off to office, hide the remote :) ...As of now status quo!, he is yet to use his creativity to beat me.
I am not scolding him or saying a word about the whole thing. ....just playing along to see where his creativity outbeats my policing! ...Hope he uses his creativity for the right reasons when he grows up.
