About the baby

We are a bit apprehensive about how Adi is going to face the newborn. Some snippets of conversation

 

Adi: Ammaa.. chotta baby amma is some aunty. You are only my amma.. not chotta baby amma. Ok?

 

Tushara was knitting a sweater for Ajitha’s kid – Jayden

Adi: Amma who you making sweater for?

Tushara: I am making this sweater for Jayden baby.

Adi: ok

 

After a few days, Tushara is making another sweater

Adi: Amma you making sweater for chotta baby?

Tushara: No, I am making sweater for Jayden baby.

Adi: You making sweater for Jayden baby.. chotta baby.. you no make sweater for Adi?

Tushara: Illa mone.. after making this sweater, the next sweater is for you only.

Don't come back from office

Well.. the chap was highly irritated that I woke him up and dragged him forcibly from the bed to the bathroom and washed his face. I was applying oil after that when this happened:

 

Adi: Acchaaaa.. I don’t like you

Me: ok

Adi: I like only Amma

Me: Ok

Adi: Accha.. are you going office?

Me: yes

Adi: You go office.. don’t come back

Me: …?? Why?

Adi: I want to stay with amma at home. You go office and no come back.

 

Driving car

This happened last week. Tushara was highly irritated with his noises related to driving a car – noise connected to opening the door, locking it, putting the key in ; starting it etc.

 

Tushara: Adi.. enough of driving car. No more driving car understand?

Adi: hmm.. ok

 

Adi sat quietly for sometime. Tushara moved to the bedroom. After about 15 mins, the sounds start again.

 

Tushara: (yelling from the bedroom): Adi… I said no driving car.

 

However, there is no respite. I walk over to the drawing room to investigate.

 

Me: Adi, amma asked you not to drive car. She is going to get very angry. Why do you disobey.

Adi: I am not driving car. I am driving bus.

 

Well.. what do I say?

 

Me: Adi.. driving car and bus is the same. No more driving.

Adi: No response. Very quiet. Sitting quietly.

 

After about 10 mins – the sounds start again. I walk over again to investigate. The chap is sitting at the back of the sofa (not his usual position in the front).

 

Me: Adi.. amma told you not to drive.

Adi: I am not driving. Driver uncle is driving. I am sitting back. (pointing out his location).
