Look Who’s Talking!

Now this post is meant to be a dynamic one. There r these sweet nothings and thought provoking pearls that my brat mouths. It’s a part of socio-emotional development I guess. I treasure each one of them. Am afraid, I might lose track of them with time. Hence want to keep them on record somewhere. It’ll be lovely share it with the boy himself once he grows up!

- Shania on 141! ( 23/101/2007)

He has learnt to memorize Phone numbers. So what if they happen to be 3-digit intercom numbers. R tells me that he wants to call Shania on 141. And when I ask him how he remembers the number. Here goes the rationale – She lives in A-block…and A=1; the lift stops in 4th floor when he goes to her house to play, so its 4 and she also stays in 401 like us (we stay in 501!). So its 141! Actually, that’s the nomenclature followed …it was really amusing to hear him spell the logic!

- Policeman calling!

R gets back from school at 11.30. I call home at around 11.45ish to enquire about his activities. People at home used to tell him that’s the policeman calling to check on him! He never got to talk to me on that call. Last week, he picks the phone says hello….I didn’t respond. He is quick to remark…WRONG NUMBER! Since about a week now… I have stopped calling home at 11.45!

-Energy Transfer!

On a lazy saturday afternoon, I decided to augment his nutritional status with a glass of freshly made Watermelon juice. He was just out of his nap and appeared a little cranky. I decided to bank on the Power Rangers to convince him to have the juice. I said something like...Its red coloured juice, so he'd be full of red power as soon as he drinks the juice. He instantly got up from the couch, came near the dining table, pointed at the glass with his right hand and remarks...Watermelon Juice...Red energy transfer! and within seconds gobbled up the entire lot! Needless to say, it left me puzzled a little and then in splits of laughter!

Machli Jal khi Raani Hai
Jeevan Uska Paani Hai
Haath lagao ge tho Dar Jayegi
Bahar Nikaalo ge tho Mar Jayegi

It took us nearly 5 times of repeated naration to pick up what he exactly meant! Its simply superb to hear him recite this one! Muaaaaaaaah

- New words in the vocab! - 13/03/07

Yeah..he now goes to the kindergarden...has this whole band of play pals...comes up with new words every now and then.

Over the last week, two of his 'new' word expressions caught me by surprise in particular.
Scene 1 - R was playing with the building blocks, trying to assemble the pieces to make a car look-alike or something, while I was reading a book. Roughly ten minutes of assembling effort and he said... Mommy ..Heres the car! The brain that I possess can recognize only assembled objects not the mode of assembly...I said..Wow sweetie...that's so cool! R was quick to remark...Mummy u need to say - ' Excellent Piece of Work'.

Scene 2 - Mumbai has begun witnessing the temperature soares....This morning was different...it seemed like we might have a drizzle....I looked at the sky through my bay window and said aloud...Looks like it may rain! R added in a matter-of-fact tone,'Mummy...it's cloudy!'

Woow! I was blushing to myself...My boy sure has begun to have his way with words!
