Kids chat

Hotels with kids’ club facilities

Hello kids and we are sorry to say that we will no longer be having our weekly chats.

Fluppy: Hey, why is that?

Cliparti: Because we no longer feel like chatting. So we are here to say good-bye.

Fluppy: What do you mean by that? Don’t you know how sad our friends will feel. You just can’t do anything like that. This is what you give to all the children who shower their love to us and wait for us each Monday. I just can’t ...

Cliparti: April Fool go to school, tell your teacher …

Windy: You are a fool!

Fluppy: Oh God! You really made a fool of me.

Windy: Yesterday was your day, the April Fools day.

Fluppy: Then this is your month. The April Fool’s month.

Windy: There is nothing called April Fool’s month.

Fluppy: If there can be such a day, there can be such a month, you know for bigger fools!

 


Cliparti
: You are wrong here. You know April is full of wonders. It’s a month that is celebrated for various reasons. Its ‘pets are wonderful month’, the ‘International Guitar month’, ‘National humor month’, ‘Listening awareness month’, the ‘Grass month’, ‘National anxiety month’, ‘Prevention of cruelty to animals month’ and ‘Alcohol Awareness month’. Whew!!

Fluppy: Really?

Windy: Yes and what’s more, even the month is celebrated week by week. For example, the first week is ‘National bake week’ and "Publicity stunt week’. April 1 as you know is April Fool’s day, then April 3 is "Don’t go to work unless its fun day" and April 5 is the "National School Psychology day" and April 6 is "Plan your Epitaph day."

Fluppy: Go on!

Windy: No. I will tell you more about the second, third and fourth weeks of April in the successive editions of our chatting.

Fluppy: Okay. But tell me one thing, how did you know so much? You really are so well aware.

Windy: Well, thanks!

Cliparti: What thanks? Stop making him fool again. Hey Fluppy, it’s all from this site at http://cs.swau.edu/~oliviar/apr.html. You can yourself look up and know more about the second, third and fourth weeks of April.

Fluppy: Okay, so that’s it Mr. Well Aware! People like you cannot be trusted.

Windy: Hey, mister. It’s nothing like that. I don’t see anything wrong in having fun.

Fluppy: By making a fool of others?

Windy: To fight boredom, yes even by making fool of others.

Fluppy: For God’s sake, don’t you have anything better to fight boredom?

Windy: Anything you can suggest?

Cliparti: I have something exactly for you. It’s for all bored kids. Log on to this wonderful boredom buster at www.holidayboredombursterforkids.co.uk/children

Fluppy: What all ideas does it have?

Cliparti: Lots. Grow a seed, tidy your room the fun way, download free music from the Net, exploring, horse riding, putting on a pantomime for neighbors, friends or family, making up your own game or a newspaper, making up a wormery and lots more.

Windy: This sounds a pretty good site for holidays. Actually that is the time when you really need something to do in the afternoons.

Cliparti: I have something else too, in case you are wondering what to do in the holidays.

Fluppy: What’s it, Cliparti?

Cliparti: At http://www.jadoonet.com/comp/kids/holidays/index.asp you will find some lovely ways to spend your holidays. You can go out for vacations if you like and here you can view different options. Go for trekking or rafting, visit the dense Corbett and meet the tiger. In case you plan to stay, at home and are the believer of go east or west, home is the best, then you have lots to do at your computer. Go in for games, sports, cartoons, friendships, books, hobbies, chat, Net basics etc.

Fluppy: And if some children do not wish to do that too, they can join some kids club.

Windy: I have a lovely option that will serve your two purposes. You can go out for holidays and join the club too.

Fluppy: How is that possible?

Windy: Everything is possible, baby. At http://www.kidsclubhokidays.com you will find a travel guide Web site that has hotels with children’s club facilities. You can choose from a destination area, if you are touring Indian sub-continent or choose a destination country if you are traveling abroad. This site has listed all children friendly resorts and hotels along with the various travel companies, airlines, maps and press information.

Cliparti: This sure will make parent’s lives easier when it comes to deciding and booking a family travel holiday.

Fluppy: Yup. I just can’t wait for the holidays to start. How I wish I could just fly away to all the lovely places.

Cliparti: Ace aviation has some specialised flying holidays you can opt for in India. In case you literally wish to fly, you can enjoy paragliding, hang gliding, para-motoring or powered hang gliding. And all this in your own country. Get updated with the weather, free flight tours, alternative tours and lots more from http://www.aceaviation.co.uk

Windy: Hey, wait Cliparti. Where is Fluppy?

Fluppy: Up here!

Cliparti: Gosh! He is already in Cloud Nine, flying away in the sky.
