Kinnow is more than a fruit and you've very eloquently described why.
Like you, I also have fond memories of eating kinnow with my dad in winter afternoons. Although those sweet bondings always ended up with him handing me over a pen and paper to test my creative writing skills or dreadful multiplication and factorization lessons.
Few years later, our kinnow parties turned into him testing my organic chemistry skills. 😅
Most kids hate doing school stuff with their parents or simply doing it at all. But now that I look back, those were the best times. Not because, I can't have it back but because I enjoyed it then too, mostly.
Ahh.. kinnows drifted me to an entire different chapter from the past.
Peanuts possess the same power. 🥜
Haha, dads and their unique bonding methods! During my graduate-level microbiology exam prep, my dad came to my room while I was preparing and ambushed me by asking to explain the "lab diagnosis of typhoid fever," his absolute favorite topic. My narration, eagerly anticipated, was met with a blunt "bullshit," leaving me in tears on the eve of a crucial exam.
Despite my total, un eagerness, my father joined me, and we approached the diagnosis together. I vividly recall that 'starting the diagnosis with day one instead of day zero, was my second mistake, with the first being neglecting clinical symptoms – 'why should I touch the clinical side'??? - I kept wondering angrily 'I have to prepare a hell lot of other things and tests and cover all the bacteria, viruses and fungi...'
In the end, I achieved distinction in microbiology, all thanks to typhoid fever and my dad's love for it (The diagnostic test did come in the exam next day). The same approach that got me through the exam!
The "peanuts"... Yes the bondings over these beauties is an other level!!!
Pardon my biology knowledge, I have no clue why you had to start with day zero and what are clinical symptoms but I totally get what you are implying with this anecdote.
Dads and kinnows are great. 😅
I'm implying nothing,,, just a subtle flexing to impress you guys... 🫣
Maybe someone out there will read it and say 'wow,' 😜
Well, you nailed that. 😝
🤣
By the way, I forgot to mention earlier that your dad's tactics worked. And look at you, my creative friend; when it comes to writing eloquently and, also, in general.
You have turned out so perfect ❤️
You rock
You are being generous.
I guess I'm doing okay among the far better and skilled creatives like you.
