Story of an Umbrella being Used & Abused
Scene 1:
Jillu is holding an umbrella in her hand by the handle -similar to the way batsmen hold their bat before facing a ball and sweeping the other side onto the floor this way & that way
And says "Thodachu Thodachu...." (ie scrubbing the floor)
another use of umbrella discovered! Now, i know why she took it out of the cupboard!
Scene 2:
The poor umbrella after being used as a scrubber is now being abused under Jillu's feet
Jillu : kudai, kudai..(Umbrella)
Me : Nee yenna panre kudaiya ? (what are you doing with the umbrella?)
Jillu : Medhikaren...(am stamping it) and reinforces it by doing it again
Me : Medhikkalaamaa kudaiya? (are you supposed to stamp it?)
Jillu : medhikka koodadhu (not supposed to stamp it)
Following that she removes her foot from the umbrella
Me : Good girl !
and I turn away feeling thrilled "Good Progress! She listens to reason and realizes the do 's and the don't s".
The very next second, I hear her dad laughing, and
I turn back to see the umbrella being abused again.

Lot of grown up's are not able to listen and reason out lots of things, so your expectations are way too high :)
