I Bedtime talk
Jillu : yennoda friend a irukkiyaa?? (Will u be my friend?)
Me : (silent)
Jillu : Ammaa
Me : hmmm?
Jillu : nee yennoda friend a irukkiyaa?? (Will u be my friend?)
Me : sure.. irukken da kannnaa. (After a pause..) Friend na, yeppidi da irukkanum ? yenna pannanum? (sure. What do friends do? what should i do to be your friend?)
Jillu : Jolly ya irukkanum...yen kooda vilaiyadanum (We have to be jolly. You have to play with me)
Me (completely zapped by now): Appidiyaa da chellamaa? sure da. Amma ippo konja naalaa busy yaa irukkrn la. Adhaan vilaiyaada mudila. But function apram, sure a unnoda vilaiyaadaren, okvaa ? (Sure, kannna. I have been busy these days and thats why I am unable to play with you. We will surely play lots after the function, OK vaa?)
Jillu : OK

Jillu rubs her fingers over the kolam (Rangoli) outside our home and applies the powder over her forehead like a kumkum or veebudhi.
I chide her for the same, citing all reasons for not doing so.
Me : Velila kolam yellarum medikkaaraa da, chellamma. Adha azhukellaam nee thoda koodaadhu.uvaa varum
(Everybody walks over the kolam. So you shouldn't be touching the dirt. You will be sick)
Jillu : Naan medhikala paa ( I didn't stamp)
Me : Nee medhikala, but mathavaa medhikaraa ( I know u didn't, but others do)
Jillu: Yen medhikaraa? (Why do they walk all over it?)
Me : (Ahaa, nallaa maatinen !) theriyaama medhikaraa da, chellam (They do it unknowingly da, chellamaa)
Jillu : Appo, naanum theriyaama medhikanum  (Then, even I want to stamp unknowingly)
Me : ?@#$@#
