Perceptions

Ammamma offered Jun a vadai.

Arjun said he doesn't want 'burnt idlies'

:)

NOT another brick in the wall...

Jun before science lesson :

Amma, i need to go to the bathroom.

Jun after science lesson :

Amma, my urinary bladder is full!!

Sigh...

man-made???

What are man-made materials?

Jun's answer : Man made materials are materials made by people (both men and women)

Yay for gender equality!!

Incredible Eva

This little gem comes from my sister. My two and a half year old niece has just joined a new day care in canada. She has made some new friends who obviously have very good taste as the ensuing conversation shows :

Little Boy : You are incredible!!

Eva : No, i am Eva. The Incredibles are at home!!!

Observations :

Yes, we are a very grounded family with both feet planted firmly on the ground!!

But ofcourse, the little boy got it absolutely right :)



 

Quilling Concerns!

Jun's ammamma taught him paper quilling and he does it really well.

But arjun had better use for the quilling needle.

"Amma, can i use the quilling needle and make you hair curly?"

My hair almost defied gravity and stood up pointing at the ceiling at the very thought of my son doing my hair.

My fighter pilot son is slowly flying away. Hello to my newly arrived jawed habib son!

Oh dear.
 

One Angry Bird!!!

Amma, you won't clear this level even when you become an old lady.


Hmmppphh.

Only words...

In a rather social situation, arjun suddenly stops all conversation with his exclamation of 'Who farted'? After uneasy laughter all around, especially from Maddy and me, we are able to move the conversation along.

Back home, we give arjun a long lecture on how he just canNOT talk that way. "Nobody says stuff like 'Who farted?'' and we better not hear you say that again, understood?''

Our man nods and looks at us with eyes filled with remorse and says, "okay...next time i will just say, whats that smell?''
