Dedrahge

Who is Dedrahge?

Only the most sought after 8 year old in the Marvel Matrix Apartment Complex! For some reason, all the kids adore Dedrahge... my kids included! According to Anna Claire & Bennett, he is so silly and he gives the best camel rides. Even Sutton laughs hysterically at everything he does! I knew my kids thought he was awesome but it's pretty funny because all the other kids' parents say the same thing... their kids love Dedrahge and talk about him at home too! When he comes out to play, everyone swarms around him and goes crazy... giggling, laughing, chasing him, riding on his back, etc. It's pretty amusing!

I thought it would be fun to give a little bio of Dedrahge because he is a very typical Indian kiddo and his family is a very typical, fairly-wealthy Indian family.

*His mom works until 7:00 p.m. Monday-Saturday
*His dad works until 8:00 p.m. Monday- Saturday (Indians work very long hours & generally
only have Sundays off work)
*He goes to school from 7:30 a.m. until 5:30 p.m.
*They eat dinner at 9:00 when his dad gets home from work. (Indians eat dinner very late-
anywhere from 9:30-11:00 is common here)
*He is an only child (You will rarely see Indian families with more than 2 children in the cities.
That is not the case in rural or extremely poor areas.) All of our friends in
the apartment, except for one, are only children.
*He is on his own from 5:30 until 7:00 when his mom gets home, which means he comes down to
play with all the other kids.
*He goes to bed around 11:30 p.m. (Indian kids stay up very late here... I have no idea how
they do it but they all think we're crazy when we're going upstairs to eat
dinner at 6:30 and the kids are going to bed at 8:30!)

This is that silly side that the kids all think is hilarious!
