Kiddie talks - 28

Whenever P comes from school my first question would be -

Did you finish your lunch? Since i would be waiting at the gate for him (as he stepped into std 2 he told me not to wait and would throw tantrums if i did so, now it has become a practice - I would always love to greet whether it is P or aathu when they return home ) i would immediately judge from the weight of the bag. If the answer is no - then he would get an earful.

That particular day was his last working day after completing his exams(ippothan puthusu puthusa FA1 FA2 appadinnellam irukke - i like this old one simply monthly , quarterly , half-yearly , annual - how easy to remember) so was busy preparing his favourite paneer butter masala . He came bit early and so i missed out his van. I was in a jubilant mood since he kept up his promise of studying and doing his exams well. That day too he didnt finish his lunch and when he announced that rather meekly , i said "Its ok. But dont repeat it ever"

He got suspicious.

P : " Amma are you having throat pain"

Me: Illaye iam fine en kekkara

P : Illa romba polite ah pesariye athaaan kekkaren unakku udambu seri illaya.

Me : Cannot help but laugh shamelessly ;p

Now this has become our kudumba dialogue for ottufying when we behave strangely (i mean politely of course)
