Personal

I am married and have a seven-year-old boy.

One Sunday afternoon, while I was preparing for teaching, my son came in and asked, "Mummy, what are you doing?" "Mummy is preparing for classes tomorrow. We will talk about bonds this week, like corporate bonds and government bonds” I replied fondly. "Yes, there is also James Bond," smiled my son.

At breakfast, my son asked, "What is a wolf's favourite food?" I wondered what it could be. Then he exclaimed, "It’s waffle!"

One morning, I began, "I was invited to give a talk on exchange-traded funds today." "We talked about trades at school," my son chimed in. "Can you tell me about it?" I enquired. "Well, my friend gave me a Pokémon card, and I will give him one of mine. That's called a trade," he recounted.
