I have missed posting the "conversations" series for a while. Perhaps as he is growing up, those innocent gems are not so frequent. Or perhaps I am not so faithful in recording them :( But here are some of them, collected in a long while (thankfully I did record them on FB, and was able to retrieve...)

Sid was fussing over his food. To instill a respect for food, I told him, "Agar aap khane mein aise pareshan karoge to Bhagwanji aapko khana nahin denge".
Very innocently, he asks me, "Mumma par aap to mere ko doge na!"

To keep Sid engaged, N had been playing cards with him. At this age the only game Sid can play is patte-pe-patta, so (for obvious reasons) N got tired after some time.
N: okay go and play with dadi nowSid: why don't you want to play more?
N: because I am bored
Sid: then what are you going to do?
N: nothing
Sid: nothing? But then you will get even more bored!

Few days back, one night Sid was driving me crazy (as usual), "what shall I do?" .... with not much else that could be done, I taught him a "new" (new to him that is) game - 'antakshari' of english words. He was having fun, but after a while he was stuck at "e". He thought for sometime, then brightened up, and said "economic". For a moment we were stunned, but then realization dawned, and we had a good laugh.
Any guesses where he picked it up from?
The newspaper - The Economic Times - N faithfully read each morning!

I reached home to find Sid having chips (a treat usually reserved for weekend trips to market).
Me: aaj is time chips kyun kha rahe ho?
Sid: (with a radiant smile): kyunki maine chips bahut Dino se nahin khaye
Me: (in an equally sweet tone): aapne maar bhi bahut dinon se nahin khayee ...
Sid: par maar itni bhi important nahin hai!

I had been reading a book titled "The Twentieth Wife". Sid sees the title, and asks me, "Mama, did you also read 'The First Wife'?

As I handed over a juice bottle to N, who was driving the car, Sid promptly reproduced this sage advice: "Papa, Do not drink and drive!"

And the latest person to be bitten by the poetry bug is none other than - Sid!!
He has been regaling (tormenting?) us with verse with rhyme (and no reason). Here's a latest sample:
Tenali Rama
Went to a drama
He forgot his pajama
Aiyyo Rama!
Bad genes? ;)
