Trip - incident

Chotoo was at his usual disinterested best when it comes to studies.

 

Tush: Adi. .. A for?

Adi - Apple

Tush: B for ?

Adi - Ball

.

.

Tush: H for ?

Adi: Hat (well.. he is loosing interest rapidly now)

Tush: G for?

Adi - Gigloo

Tush: What??? No Adi.. I for Igloo.. what is G for?

Adi - Gigloo

Tush: No Adi.. H for?

Adi - Higloo

Tush.. Adi… H for Hat.. not Higloo. I for?

Adi - Igloo

Tush - Good. Very good boy. J for?

Adi - Jigloo..

Tush- Grr..

 

The learning session stopped right there.. and Adi was unconcerned with whatever was going on.. unmindful of the anger & frustration on Tush's face.

Mature outlook

Sometimes, I feel that he is far mature for his age. The way he looks up philosophically, the way he thinks deeply at times looking out of the window. Check this out.

 

Amma was stitching her saree. It was torn slightly.

Adi: Ammamma, saree keeree

Ammamma: Ade mone, saree keeree, ammamma stitch cheyuge anu. Adi vallidu aytu, jolee ku pogumbol, ammammaku medichu tharuo?

Adi: (thinking for sometime).. Adi jolee ammamma saree

Ammamma: Muthachannu ?

Adi: Pappa .. dress

Ammamma: ammaku?

Adi: hmm.. (thinking for sometime).. amma.. machine

Ammamma: Acchanu?

Adi: hmm… scooter.

One more snub

Something similar to the last post happened again.

 

The chap came to me last night around 945.

 

Adi: Accha.. all izz wei.. idu

 

I put the song on my mobile for him.

 

Adi: Papppa… come..

 

He and pappa begin to dance. He then looks at me..

 

Adi: Accha.. paper .. go..

 

(asking me to go read the paper)

 

Sigh!!

Crook ..

This is what happened today morning.

 

He was as usual in the loo singing away to glory. It was almost 15 mins in there. So, I asked him if he is done. He looks up at me and says:

 

Adi: Accha.. ironbox.. (and shows the action of ironing).

 

Well .. well.. he is already asking me to mind my business.. :)

 

Funny set of incidents.. :) - 14jan2011

1230PM

Looks like in the afternoon after chotoo singh came home from school, he was insisting on pappa driving our car. Pappa convinced him telling that I had taken the keys to office but not the car. (As if the chap believed it). He then asked amma (on intercom from the basement) to hide the key.

 

Fast forward to 430PM

Chotoo singh comes walking into the drawing room after a good sleep. Says "Goodmorning" to pappa & amma and then sees the keys at the key stand (Pappa had accidently placed the key back).

Adi: Key .. accha office?

Pappa: Monu, acchan sent the keys home by courier.

Pappa: I can't take you now. I am going to the market

 

Fast forward to 715PM (I reach home and step into the house)

Adi: Accha… car chavee.. key.. pappa market. Wait…

Adi: Accha.. car stat.. adi fol hans (fold hands)

Adi: Adi car ound (round.. showing actions)

he waits for sometime and then..

Adi: Accha.. come. car stat (start)

We walk towards the lift. The lift opens and pappa is standing there.

Adi: Pappaaa…. (then turns to me).. key tha. Pappa Adi car stat. Accha bye.. Accha go home

 

Fast forward to car:

Pappa opens the passenger door, our hero jumps in and folds his hands.

Adi: pappa .. come.

Pappa gets into the driver's seat

Adi: Pappa.. car stat

Pappa starts the car

Adi: Pappa.. car dive.

Pappa bursts out laughing and explains that he can't drive.. :).

He knows that he can manipulate pappa and hence wants the responsibilities passed onto pappa.. :). Finally, we agreed to take him to the shop. Pappa and me were discussing where to go and what to buy. Adi was a spectator as usual.. looking some place else.

Me: Adi.. where are we going?

Adi: Shop

Me: Which shop are we going?

Adi: DMAT (DMART)

Me. No.. say reliance

Adi: eliance.. lion

Me: What are we going to buy?

Adi: Azhee..(Ari - rice) (not bad.. chap was observant)

 

We then spent some time in front of reliance fresh and then headed home.. :).

Adi: Accha.. amma pickup.

Me: Amma is at home.

you should look at the happiness on his face on hearing that statement.. :)

14jan2011

This is the first time I have heard him say this.

 

Yday, I took the 615 bus and reached home around 715. Chotoo was thrilled to see me. We started talking and suddenly he remembered and said.. :)

Adi: Chanjee vedikku. Adee veenu. (Bum is paining. Adi fell down).

 

I had to control myself from laughing out loud, especially considering the seriousness with which he told me this.

Some diagols.. :)

Some other interesting dialogues.

 

I am sure this chap has learnt this from Tushara. One morning I was passing by when I heard this chap sitting on the bed, looking out of the window dreamily and saying

Adi: Amma home, Accha home.. Adi happy..

 

Ajitha initiated this. She taught Adi to say the below while in Pondicherry. Subsequently all of us have hijacked this statement to replace Ajitha with Accha, Acchaccha etc.

Adi: Ajitha is Adi's dahling

 

Tushara has given her personal twist

Adi: Amma is Adi's boss

 

 

Anemone - Anmol

Ammamma - Adi, what are the sea creatures?

Adi - Octopus, Sta Fish, she hose, Dolphin, Anmol… ( he he he he)

 

Amma & I thought that this chap was making fun of Anmol.

 

Well, Tushara suggested today. That he was perhaps mistaking Anemone to Anmol.. :).. So that was the catch.

 

 

12 Jan 2011

Chotoo was insistent on not going to school today. Had us both worried. Looks like they are insisting that he write in school. There was this incident yesterday -

 

Me - Adi, did you have tiffin?

Adi - illye

Me - why?

Adi - padi. Adi study.

Me - oh.. enda padichhe?

Adi - Standing line, sleeping line (showing actions). L

Me - H padicho?

Adi - hmm

Me - E padicho?

Adi - hmmm

Me - F padicho?

Adi - illye

 

Looks like the teacher insisted that he have his tiffin only after he finishes writing L, H & E.

 

Coming back to today, he used his typical delaying tactics of not wanting to drink milk and not wanting to do appi. (this was finally achieved by him listening to "All is Well". Should tell thanks to vinay meher for giving me that song). I ended up brushing his teeth much to his anger (when Tushara had already brushed his teeth in the morning). He started eating food around 819(my watch). Finished one dosa quickly. As usual was distracted seeing pics in the newspaper. Around 834, I glanced at my watch and this chap noticed. He immediately clamped him mouth shut refusing to eat more. Real crook. Started his natak of not wanting to go to school. We got him ready in a jiffy and were on our way down. He had reconciled to going to school and was (surprisingly) persistent on travelling in "Accha car" and not " Bhaiiya Car".

 

We landed on the ground floor and saw the sumo at a distance. Immediately, the dialog changed.

Adi- Accha, accha car no. bhaiyya car.

Accha - sherry, odu odu

Adi - Maasi.. Open.  (I put him in the car, he drags the bag from my shoulders).. Anmol.. bag.

Accha - Da.. anmol o.. Anmol bhaiiya para

Adi - Anmol bhaiyya… bag..

 

After a few seconds.. a haughty bye to me..

 

well.. that was in short the kolaahalam in the morning today.. :).

 

No Studying

Ammamma: Adi, let us study

Adi: No, Park

Ammamma: Ok. Let us go to the park. Let us take the books as well and study in the park

Adi: No park. Study home.
