P doesnt like to sleep in the afternoons. First of all he wouldnt come to bed in the afternoon. Then where is the question of sleep? But , today i had put him to sleep forcibly, cos he is suffering from cough and cloud. Due to the medicines he is in a drowsy state and thought a few hours of sleep would help him. Waiting to bear his wrath once he gets up
His first and foremost wail would be
Nee en enna thookka paduthuna?!!!!!!!! Paar unnala thaan naan ellathaiyum miss pannitten...... Innaikku full night naan games velayaduven and apparam TV paarpen. Naan innaikku night thoongave maatten.
This would be his standard dialogue......

kiddie Talks - 9
My friends father is working in our office post his retirement. And sometimes he would drop us in Ps dance class. Today since my husband was not there , i decided to go by auto.
While we were getting ready for the class, the conversation went as follows:
P : Amma, namba innaikki eppadi poga porom? car or auto?
Me : Auto da.
P : En car kedaiyathu?
Me : Antha thatha innaikki varala office kku?
P : Why?
Me : He is not feeling well.
P : Appo avarukku eppadi kedaikkum ?
Me : Ennathu eppadi kedaikkum?
P : Athaam maa, velaikku ponathaane sambalam kedaikkum, pogatta eppadi avarukku kedaikkum!!!!!!!!
(During saturdays and other holidays he used to ask his dad also to stay at home, so i would tell him that only when u go for work u can get salary and can live comfortably )
Dumbstruck!!!!!!!!!! This is how kids mind work relating and co-relating the events which we cannot even imagine.

Lesson learnt
Today my aathukarar left for the holy journey to sabarimala. The pooja and irumudi samacharangal ellam took place at one of his ex-colleagues place, and this post is about the pooja and their family.
Their family is something which i started to envy right from the first meet. They have a very big extended family with all the family members present on the pooja occasions. And they are a typical tamil iyer family who give lots of importance to aacharam and anushtanam. Nevertheless those aacharams and anushtanams make them one among the crowd.
The ceremony started with sahasranama pooja and the normal pooja for the iyappan. Then the family members started to sing songs without any prompting. This includes the age group right from 5 - 80 . They didnt shy away in front of us , who are all the more strangers though ex-colleague. The range of songs they chose to sing were also different and not the standard ones being sung during the golu or other occasions. And lot more interesting was the fact that everybody knew their lines and it was not any kind of oppethify.
Then comes the central part of irumudi . Actually for people who have no idea about this - irumudi means the thengai and other neivedyams which are taken to be offered to iyappa kept in a bag with little quantity of rice . The speciality of this is the nei thengai. Havent heard of nei thengai being offered any where else (pls let me know if it is otherwise). And during this everyone used to sing the sarana goshams. And this family without any inhibitions actually enjoyed singing those sarana goshams . Not even singing , it was literal dancing. Except for the north indian families , i havent come across any tamil family who do really enjoy their poojas along with dancing and singing. It was such a treat to watch. All the grown ups literally enjoying themselves unmindful of the surroundings and surrendering themselves to the cause literally.
It might be annoying for few who are more cultured to see those ladies dancing and singing, but i learnt from them to truly enjoy the poojas ,whatever may be, which we perform at home. I just used to chant the slokas and would keep my kid occupied and finish it. But this gave me a insight on how things have to be done.
Even their interactions within themselves were truly eye-opening. It was such a delight to watch the MIL and the DIL both joining their hands in teasing the FIL. Apparam the DIL and the naathanar together started teasing the DIL's brother. No egos and ever smiling faces with no complaints. While taking their blessings i truly felt their genuineness.
Hope i try to be like them without any complaints, back-biting and vambu.
