Just by chance!

What would you call a moment when you invent something without intending to? Play this memory game to see who all just did.

Venetian blinds were invented in Japan! Yes!, you heard that right. In fact, Leonardo Da Vinci invented the scissor but he never built the inventions he designed. Also, the can opener was invented 48 years after the can. But today, let us learn more about inventions that happened without much prep. This and much more will be shared with you as you play this memory game.

Comparisons just went global

Forget siblings and friends, the ideal has gone up several notches after Time Magazine’s Kid of the Year choice.

Do your folks compare you to your friends and siblings? It’s never obvious like “Oh, V is better than you at the piano.” It’s always subtle like “Oh wow! Look at V. See how much he practises his piano? So sincere! Not a single parody song either.” (What’s the point of learning an instrument if I can’t accompany myself singing “It’s raining tacos?”) Or something like “Look how much T loves her mother. She made her breakfast in bed for Mothers’ Day.” Or “Did you know P read 200 books this year? And not one of them was a graphic novel?”

Well, I’m kind of used to it by now. You know the ancient Chinese proverb, “In through one ear, out through the other”? That’s me. Or, as Aristotle used to say, “Water off a duck’s back”. I’m kind of immune to these comments now, though I’d rather be immune to COVID-19.

Anyway, it’s one thing for your parents to compare you to the kid in VII B who won the Math Olympiad, and another entirely to some kid a million miles away in the U.S. That’s right, comparing your kids just went global.
