A Letter to Elders
This is one of the numerous letters written by All India Children's Association (AICA) to the leaders of The Elders' Society (TES)
This letter was written by Rati J. in 2003 when she was a kid. And later on she submitted it to AICA.
Dear Elders,
You overestimate yourselves sooo much that you think I can't understand the silly tricks you play with me. Come on, I can easily enter your phone password and dial up a call🤙.
I also know that 1+1 equals to 2. I'm an expert in A to R and moderate in S to Z. Why on earth should you feel superior to me??🤨
Mom, Dad, Granny and Grandpa, please make digestible excuses! They're really very childish and illogical🙄. Just say "no" if you don't wanna play and I would do something better to persuade you!
Mommy, you're a kind person but I'm afraid, you can't lie well. I love your lipsticks💄😍 I'm about to touch them and I hear you say, "त्याला हात नाही लावायचा, ताे बाऊ आहे!" (Don't touch it, that's devil)
😑😑😑what the hell is "बाऊ!!"
And why the hell would you rub a "बाऊ" on your lips🙄?This evil bloke doesn't even exist😒.
Also you made me eat bitter gourd in order to get long hair like Rapunzel.. But it were the same the next day 😤.
Heyyy, what's up Dad? You're a cool dude, buddy!😎 I looovve your shaving kit. Make me cool like you😎. I wanna try that fragrant gel 😃🤗!!
😤But you turn down all the hopes and say, "it's only for men" ...😒 I smell racism 😤😤
O Granny, you are the most innocent person in our house. When Mommy scolds me, you console me by saying, "थांब, आपण तिचं घर उन्हात बांधू!"
Ufff, please get your facts right, Granny.
सगळ्यांचीच घरं उन्हात असतात! 🙄😕
I love you the most Grandpa! You bring chocolates and gifts for me and even take me to the park for a horse ride. But you seem so mean when you hesitate giving me a horse ride at home! Yeah, yeah, your famous back pain..(that vanishes while carrying Grandma's shopping bags!) But still I have sympathy for you Grandpa. I know, you won't turn me down and let me repair your glasses, just like Hermione Granger does. I'm a Potterhead you know! ⚡
AICA was found in 2002 which commenced The Children’s Movement all over India. This movement lasted for 4 years under the strong leadership of Rati J. With a compensation letter from TES (The Elders' Society) the movement came to end and so did the association. The compensation letter promised sufficient play time and direct communication with all the children. No more silly excuses and underestimating children.
