I bet you will change your looking glasses too, once you become aware of the unaware. Scenario 1 : A routine sunday morning. I am getting ready to attend a seminar on "Know your child " -KYC. Little Monk : " Mummy where are you going ?" Me : "Dear, I told you last night that I will attend a seminar on KYC." Little Monk ( scratching his head ):" If you want to know your child, then you should talk to your child and not attend some seminar on KYC."
