Thinking Out of The Box

This is a story about my nephew, Faishal and a new baby sitter who just work for two days in my sister's house (Faishal's mother). As a new one, she doesn't know a lot Faishal's character. He is a five-year old energetic young boy and is very talk-active. He is sometimes talking and thinking about something beyond my belief that i thought it will not come from the kids at his age. He often thinks out of the box-i don't know what other people say- that is amazed me many times and make me smile.

It happened when Faishal did his homework and was accompanied by that new baby sitter. It is written on his homework that he had to find at least ten of water utility in our daily life. Firstly, Faishal said that we can use water for wudhu ( ritual ablution before prayer ).

"good, Faishal ..." the baby sitter said.  "And then what else ...?" asked her.

Faishal spontaneously said ... "to wash the aeroplane ... !" he said that words enthusiastically.

"what ....?! washing aeroplane?!"  the nanny said with greatly amased.

"Isn't that too big Faishal?" the nanny asked him again.

"no ...  we can use water for washing aeroplane, can't we?" Faishal arguing.

"sure ... we can. But it's too big Faishal ... why not motorcycle or bike instead of aeroplane ..." the nanny said again.

Faishal and his nanny were arguing for awhile. at the end, Faishal agree to put "to wash motorcycle" as the answer for his homework.

I just smile to hear Faishal choosing "aeroplane" . Again, he choose something bigger beyond my thought. He is always thinking out of the box and this is not a first time i learn from the way of he is thinking ...
