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.. :).
