Just saying..
Thursday, February 19, 2015 at 3:31PM Daddy had just come back from yoga class, showered and was trying to get into equilibrium on the couch.
Mommy and the kids were watching some Tamil TV channel and a conversation started about an exercise class that mommy attended recently
LO : so what is so hard about this exercise you did?
Mommy : I had to sit down on the floor and move my hands to the other side while sitting.. (makes gestures on couch)
Jr. (gets down on carpet) : Tell me what it is.. I can see how hard it is
Mommy describes the move and Jr. does it and goes "that is easy"
Mommy : That is not easy when you have to do it many times and fast!
Then the little one chimes in with
Amma, you are "Oh - El - Dee" and she is "why -oh - you - en- gee" ! Of course it is easy for her and difficult for you.
Unfortunately I was deep in the corner of the couch and unable to escape immediately. thinking that any global catastrophy would be more welcome than what was about to follow in the next few minutes, I quietly slinked back deeper into the couch and opened my laptop to shield any direct eye contact with other house inmates and mom takes it in for a full second and says
"unakku evvalo thimiru dee?" (which crudely translates to "how dare you" *10^27 with a wind chill factor given the look on mom's eyes) and the litle one calmly goes
"What ? That is why I didn't SAY it. Didn't you see how I spelled it out so I didn't say it?!"
Somewhere something snapped and we all burst out laughing and we have lived to see another day!
