Like bacteria?

This happened abt 6 months ago....

Aditi was watching Krishna cartoon. Suddenly she came to find me,
Aditi : Amma, when Krishna's mom opened his mouth, she found the whole world in his mouth. Is that true?"
Me : yes, dear.
Aditi : What! Waa, waa, waa... I don't want to live in Krishna's mouth! I don't want to live in anybody's mouth! 

Boss Baby

Yesterday morning, aditi woke up and found me on the sofa engrossed in my phone. She came and sat next to me and leaned in on my hand and said softly "What happened to Good Morning and everything?"

Elephants, Old Navy

Today morning, Aditi and i worked on a poster where ice age animals meet the jurassic animals. We worked on a woolly mammoth and i was explaining to her about elephants...
Me : u know, elephants r a matriarchial soceity. That means, the female elephant decides when they should eat, drink, take a bath, migrate, etc. sort of like leader of the family.
Aditi : oh, u mean, just like in our family!
:-))

Few months ago, Aditi told me she doesn't like to buy clothes from Old Navy. She said, "Why is it called Old Navy? Do they sell old clothes?"
:-))

Appa's all time fav

Yesterday I was applying oil on Nidhi's hair and she started singing in a soft voice, 'boroline, boroline'. I asked her what it was and she said it's something abt Appa and she even knows the song. I asked her to sing and she went with gusto - 'khushbudaar anti-septic cream boroline!' . She claimed she can sing it like Appa and proceeded with a loud voice - 'khushbudaar anti-septic cream boroline!'. it was hilarious and we promptly sang it to Appa the minute he came home from office.

Today morning I dropped Nidhi off to school and she tells me I drive 'faster, but calmer' than Appa. :-))

Rambles that pass as posts on this blog. But such is life...  :-)

A good morning

Today morning, Aditi surprised me by getting ready for school while I was making breakfast. I finished cooking and turned around, lo - Aditi has selected and worn a dress, applied cream-powder-pottu and said 'surprise!'. Thanks to her I had a 10-min leisure which I used up in the reading 'hot-hot' news as soon as the newspaper was delivered at the door. A very good morning indeed...

Nidhi and I r the same for one thing - both of us can never get enuf holidays in life. Past two days she had her Math and Eng exam and today she did her best to get a holiday. But no chance...

I went to get my car washed. when it was done the guy called out to me saying 'Sasha' and looked sheepish as if he knew something was wrong. I had to lol :-)) S-a-n-t-o-s-h... I even spelled it from him when I entered the place. Either he can't write or he can't read... Yet another fellow who can't pronounce Indian names. That's y I never give out my real name - get very irritated when someone kills it. the worst ones r the ones who give up - 'I am not even going to try and say it!' I always think "well done with the loser's attitude!"

And, all this rambling just to get into the spirit of writing... Need to blog more often. Even though today I don't have anything special to say, this is just to start writing more and also to remind me of a simple thing - what a good morning it was! And all because I got to read the newspaper in the morning...:-)

Advantages of having a Big Sister

Nidhi and Aditi are about to have dinner. Both have taken their plates and are walking back to a cartoon in which a man is crying.

Aditi : Look, he is crying. How is that possible? How can a Man cry?
Nidhi : why is that not possible? Even Men cry. They try to act tough, but men can cry too.

Ha... That's a good lesson for u, Little Aditi. Courtesy : Nidhi-akka.

 

Art of Negotiation

Aditi : Amma, if u don't put the TV for me, i'll call u 'Chutki'.
Me : Wow, I love being called Chutki. That's such a nice name! u can call me chutki, no problem...
Aditi (puzzled) : u like being called Chutki?
Me : yes, yes, I love that name!
Aditi (without pausing a second) : ok then, if I must call you chutki, u have to put the tv for me!

And that is called - the Art of Negotiation. :-)
