Conversations with D…
Papa enters the house in the evening.
Papa: Where’s my daughter?
D : Hiding! Here papa, in the kitchen.
Papa: Oh. I found you. My little daughter..
[After some time]…
Papa: How was your day?
D : What?
Papa: How was your day in school. What did you do in school? Had fun?
D : Yes papa, I had fun. Lot of. I pushed H in the bathroom and pinched A.
Papa: huh? What did you just say?
D : Which school did you go? How was your day in your school?
Papa: hmm.. My school. It was good. I went to meet Mr. X and gave a presentation of our company product.
hey, why are you changing topic, smarty? What did you say you did in school?
D : What you saying papa?
D: Mumma, can you do me a favorite?
Me: huh? Favorite. Oh Favor, sure beta, bolo.
D: Not favor, favorite. Look at my mouth. FA-VO-RITE. Like this only you should say. okaiy mumma.
D: boda guda shoda [some gibberish talks..]
Me: Whats that?
D: When I was small girl, then I used to talk like this only mumma.
Me: Oh, I see.
D: Yes, mumma. Very funny.
Me: D, how long is it taking for you to finish half an apple.
D: But its not yummy. I can eat Parlor G [Parle G] maybe, maybe chips. Yes, mumma?
Me: Look, if you eat healthy food, you will become tall, tall like papa. If you eat junk food then you’ll become short like Dlittle baby. Its up to you, but then if you can’t reach the top of the book shelf, don’t feel bad, ok ?
D: [Munches on the apple a little more, then climbs on the weighing machine]. Mumma, look how tall AM ARE.
Me: Look at you. wow!
[Yes, the weighing machine tells her how tall. I tried explaining, no success yet].
Another related incident…
Me and Papa: [Munching on chips..]
D: Mumma, you eating junk food? You want to become small baby?
Me: hmm.. uh.. hmm.. Sometimes.. once in a while.. you can eat…
Ah ha! Oh, mummy is already tall na betu, thats why I can eat a little. When you will become as tall, then you can eat maybe. yeah?
D: No mumma, you are short tall, papa is big tall. Only papa can eat, you cannot eat, ok mumma.
Me: [Hiding my face..]
First thing when we wake up in the morning, we usually wish each others a Good morning and then..
Papa: Everyone had a good sleep?
Me: nahi yaar. This chutki keeps walking up in the night. I had a disturbed sleep.
Papa: Yeah right! I could hear you snore even after shutting my ears with cotton balls.
Me: Hey, lets get the record straight. I DON’T snore, ok.. I do but only when I am very very tired. ok.. I am tired all the time.. Whatever! look at my eyes, you see these dark circles under the eye, they are the proof that I don’t get enough sleep. Everything has become a joke for you.
D: I did not sleep well, mumma. I am very tired. Look at my eyes, look at. Red.
Papa: [Laughs..]
D: Its not funny, papa.
Note to self: Watch out for the little monster before uttering anything.

Swati: Sweet? It used to feel sweet, as she is growing older the same talks that used to feel sweet are not so sweet anymore..

~nm:
But they are not always innocent. There are times she does it on purpose, like changing the topic..
——
orchid: You are so right. Need to watch out
——
Anitha: Yipee. Payback time.

Kodi’s mom: Yes. Not just that. One of the number on the machine has to be ‘4′ . Some fascination with the color pink and the letter 4. Will do a post on this..
LOL on - is only more people though so..

DotMom: Oh, I need to write another post on this. She is going to a bigger kids class now where they teach phonics and pronunciation. She corrects us left and right now

2B’s mommy:

Trishna: Tell me about it, thanks for emphathising

Sahithis Mom: ayyoo. Let me get the little bit of sleep I get..
——
Noon: Good point, I just need to adjust my timings for junk food
——
MNamma: Yup. They know how to manipulate..
——
Moppet’s mom: I know. At first it funny and we parents do the mistake of laughing. She ends up thinking she just did something very nice to make her parents happy and continues on that..
That is surely a favourite post
The conversation on snoring is always there in my household lol
