Roles Reversed - 3

Last evening, Jillu was at her most co-operative best ! She let me prepare dinner with literally no intervention at all ! Both of us co-existed peacefully, so to speak :)

At the start, both of us came to a mutual agreement - that she would do her puzzles and I would cut the veggies, but I would sit along with and beside her ! She even chose the place where we would go about her business. And so it was that mother and daughter were sitting on the pathway to the bedroom (Thank god, there was no else at home then) and each of us were doing our stuff with amicable chatter. 

After a good 15 or so minutes, I had to go to the kitchen for an errand and thought would cut the remaining (only very little) stuff then and there. 

Jillu saw that and didn't like our agreement being broken even for a second

Jillu : Amma, inga vaa. Inga vandhu cut pannu (Ama, come here. come here and cut the veggies)

Amma : Varen da (coming )

Jillu : Inga vaa. Yen pakathula ukaandhu cut pannu (Come here and sit beside me )

Amma indulges her and comes back with all the paraphernalia

Silence reigns for a few secs as both of us resume our work. Then,

Jillu : Adi*

Me : ??? What ?

Jillu : Adi .

Me : Adiyaa?

Jillu : Amaam

Me :  Yaaru Adippa? (who will beat ?)

Jillu : Jillu

Me : yaara adipaa Jillu? (Whom will Jillu beat ?)

Jillu : Unnai (you)

Me : Aiyoooo..

Jillu : Ammaam. Nee kitchen ponineena, naan unnai adippen (yes, if you go to the kitchen, i shall beat you)

Me : ?????????????

Just who is the parent and who is the kid here ???

* Adi means beating someone
