Favourite Four

And Yes Arunima continues ...........

First thing in the morning on waking up

Aru- "Mama I want a pet...."

Me - "Okay ...so what do you want ?"

Aru - "I want a PIG ....coz its pink, its cute, has a small nose and will not eat my fingers while feeding him carrots"

well...Kids and their theories ;)

After one long minute of getting lost in a retail outlet, Arunima comes crying to me . "See what happens when u don't listen to ur mumma" I said.

With tear filled embarrassed eyes and in a rather stern tone she replies-"Mommy this is all your mistake. Why did you have to leave my hand and go.

I was worried and crying coz I thought you were lost". The entire staff laughed loudly.

Haven't been able to explain Aru what's a dream ...but her explanation makes it all clear - "Mommy when I was sleeping, a picture was moving in my eye that Dhinka Chika uncle(Salman) was running away with my ice cream. He's very naughty. "

Motion sickness as put by Arunima :

Just before plane take off - "Mommy fasten ur seatbelt, otherwise ur tummy will start flying". Before a long car journey - "I don't wanna go, my tummy goes round and round and some small fan blows wind in my ear "....never thought of it this way ;)

Aru on waking up rather irritated - "Mom there are ants in my toes. Please do something."
Me unperturbed- "Oh you must have had a dream..ants cannot enter toes."
Aru - "Then I have spiders in my toes. Please do something"
Me - "Even spiders cannot enter. You watch too much of TV".
Thanks to her dad who understood she was having tingling in her toes..How better could she have explained !!

Got a Doctor Set for Aru...
Scene - Me - the patient, Aru -The doc and her dad - the nurse.
Aru - "Nurse gimme theTEMPERATURE (she meant thermometer ).
On getting the thermometer and measuring my temp, well mom ur temperature is 100 and 100 KILOMETERS. It is very high till the ceiling. I need to put you on ice bed and give you crocin."
I couldn't stop smiling. On noticing she says - "Nurse this is a naughty little patient , lets give her an injection and no chocolates after that."
I think I should have got it long ago. Missed the fun all this while ;-)

Arunima - "Mommy whenever I do something wrong, don't scold me. Just tell me politely"
Me - "Alright. But you don't listen once so I have to sometimes"
Arunima - "It's okay, I will listen . But if you scold me even once, I will stop allowing you to be my Mumma". 
Goodness that's a big punishment for me ;)

Was teaching Arunima about birds..'So Aru name any bird and the sound a bird makes" I asked her.
"Angry Bird.. ...Huiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

iiiiiiii " was her reply ;-) This is definitely a cyber generation !!

Arunima on seeing my angry face - "Hey mom, this is not done...The glow of your face will go if you are angry .Now cool down 1,2,3"

Aru while returning from our Saturday breakfast buffet - "Mom I want to look stylish". (Well most girls want to but are never that direct ).
"Okay that's nice, so how do you become stylish ?" I asked her . 
Take a note girls and boys - "By tying jacket on waist ,wearing goggles and clips, walking smartly, posing , showing your smiling face and taking out the web from your wrist like a spiderman". 
Thanks for letting me know Aru. You get a 10 on 10 for that :

Aru comes up to me and asks - "Mommy what is STRANGE". 

So here I go about explaining 

1. See the sky is blue..if it is pink, or green ..that's strange. 

2. We humans have two eyes, two ears n one nose. If they are missing or more..that's strange

3. Baby's are small and mummy/papa are big. If its not like that, it's strange.

Okay so now Aru , tell me what's strange".

Here she goes

1. Sky is blue , but in Bangalore its black at night. That's strange.

2. Humans have hair , but Soni uncle's is missing on the top of head, only on sides.That's strange.

3. Mom you are so big , still dad calls you baby. That's strange

I chuckled. 

"Mommy am telling you seriously and you are laughing. That's strange "

You got it right this time honey ;-)
