So I have already mentioned about the Rainbow story here
http://myendeavours.blogspot.com/2012/12/a-different-perspective.html
Last Saturday we had invited friends over for dinner and hence Friday evening we had to go shopping.
We picked lil Ritvik from day-care and I told him we are going to bank and then to Rainbow (our supermarket) to get veggies.
It was a bright sunny day and when we reached the bank he asked, Amma, where is rainbow?
I replied, No No this is bank, after this we will go to Rainbow.
He looked up at the sky and asks "Why no rainbow up there, Amma"?
And since I wanted to explain to him how a rainbow is formed but not in a very scientific way I told him that
"Rainbows are formed only when we have rains and sunshine together"
Now he knows that Rainbow has seven colors because that is a game we play, repeating rainbow color, so the next question automatically is, "How the colors, Amma"?
"So baby, when the sunlight touches the raindrops it forms seven beautiful colors
(V-iolet
I-ndigo
B-lue
G-renn
Y-ellow
O-range
R-ed)
in the sky, which we see as rainbow".
He nodded his head in understanding and we stepped inside the bank.
