Sharing - easy said than done

"pAdukA good girl dhaane.. please share your toys.." this is what I hear all the time from my appA and ammA whenever I snatch toys away from other kids.

I am trying my best to not need the things other kids have with them but it is very hard. I found recently that I am not alone in this :)

I was playing with ammA's purse when she was on the phone. I lined up all her cards on the couch and was playing happily. After ammA hung up she saw me playing with her purse and came running and grabbed everything from me. She then said " ammA oda purse. pAdukA vilaiyAda kudAdu ( This ammA's purse. pAdukA should not play with it)

I had to remind ammA about sharing."pAdukA kku share pannu ammA. good girl thA ammA" (Share with pAdukA. good girl give ammA)

hmmm... sharing is no easy task after all and WE are working on it :)
