Earthquake... here, here and here!

When amma reads the newspapers, Nixon would ask her what is she reading about and she would tell him what’s happening around the world. Or, when he sees an interesting picture in the papers, he will ask her what is the story to the picture. He is definitely improving on his general knowledge...

On a related incident, amma was amused by Nixon and relates the incident to me...

We took the children to MPH bookshop to get the boys some story books and dictionary. While we were looking, the boys walked around looking at the books and items on display. Nixon was looking at some posters when he came across the map of Malaya. After starring at it, he calls out to his brother, “Anna, come look!”

Thytus walks up to him and Nixon points out, “Look at the earthquake here, and here, and here...”

I turned to look at what he was talking about and I noticed that he mistook the demarcation of the state boundaries as EARTHQUAKE! He had directly used his general knowledge on earthquakes when he saw the same red lines on the map.
