My French-Indian 6 year old boy and his Indian grandma about washing cars:
- Him: Daddi, Daddi, let’s wash the car together!
- Daddi: But Babu, what will the neighbors think??
- Him: It doesn’t matter, here, take a sponge!
She actually does care about what people think AND that washing cars is a degrading activity. So many mind blocks... Now imagine if I was washing the car in my bikini!
