Yesterday evening, I was reminded of this incident that happened some time back, and made me smile.
I was having dinner, and suddenly I felt too full and unable to finish my food. I looked at Sid who was jumping around (having finished his dinner earlier), and said to him, "Beta mere se khana finish nahin ho raha, please meri help kar do" [I can't finish my food, please help me]
(I meant the usual thing that we adults do - please eat some of it, but indirect reference is often lost on kids. And their logic is faultless!.).
So my dear child, with all his innocence and sweetness, asks me, "Khilaaoo.n?" [Should I feed you?].
