Yesterday, I showed my netted dhupatta that I was wearing and asked my daughter "Jillu, idhu yenna, sollu paapom" (Jillu, What is this called?). She knows the name (Dhupattaa) well and I was fully expecting her to say the same. But what did she say? She always manages to surprise me and what she said revealed a whole new perspective. She said "Tissue" and while my mind was busy thinking how she knew that word, let alone associate with my dhupatta, her dad agreed !
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Last evening, after I came home, she was demanding to go out and already started to put on her shoes. I managed to distract her somehow and took her into the bedroom. After some time, it started again and I told her truthfully in tamil, "Lets go tomorrow, We shall go in train and enjoy ourselves" to which she said "Train la venaam. Car la polaam" (No Train. lets go in the car). Well, Well, Well. A lesson for us ! I think we should start taking her in train (and other modes of transport) more often.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
There are a couple of birthday parties that we have to attend this weekend and I was wondering how to fit in all. While my mind was busy with all the logistics, I asked Jillu "Tomorrow is your friend's birthday. Shall we go?" and pat came the reply "Happy Birthday polaam. Cake chaapidalaam" (Lets go to Happy Birthday. Lets eat cake!!!) Me : ???!!!***
