Broken Moon

Someone Broke the Moon!

When our next door neighbor told us she was pregnant we were all so happy. Soon there would be another baby to play with! A month after she delivered, she brought this tiny little boy home and kept him on a mat on our house. He was the cutest thing ever. I had never ever seen such a small human being before and I didn’t know how to react or even interact with him.

Over the next 2 years he pretty much grew up in my house as my little baby brother. In fact, he even called my father "Dada". He was the cutest thing ever and he would ask us the sweetest questions.

One day, we were all playing outside on the road. It was really dark and the sun had already set. There was a beautiful looking crescent moon above.

All of a sudden Arnish (the little kid) started crying. We got really worried and kept asking him what was wrong. He ran to my father and said "look Dada, someone broke the moon".

It was the funniest thing I had ever heard - such an innocent thing to say. We still cannot stop laughing every time we see the moon.
