Me: Did you empty the snack-box today?
Vyas: No.
Me: Why?
Vyas: It had too many pieces of apple. I could not eat.
Me: But why? I manage to eat 2 or even 3 apples during snack time at work and here you are, sulking to eat just half an apple!
Vyas:That is because you have all the time in the world and I don’t. I have work to do.
Me to self: Serves you right!!
——————-
Vyas: I hate Hindi!
Me: Am tired of you hating it!
Vyas: Chumma eppoparu ling-badhlo, vachan-badhlo nnu!
Me: Dei! Tell me an alternative. We’ll go with that.
Vyas: I’d like to study Greek instead!
Really?
——————-
Me: What happened? You are looking dull?
Vyas: Nothing (says it with a drawl).
Me: You look a little tired. Are you feeling sick or something?
Vyas: Not sick actually. Nothing…
Me: Any problem at school? Were you an ‘outstanding’ student anytime this week?
Vyas: Yes, I have a problem with school. The class room in the 3rd floor is a bad idea. I’m tired!
Me: Hey, but you guys are the seniors in the block. So you need to be on the top floor right?
Vyas: Exactly! That is why am not complaining.. Just that there is a lot of writing too…
Oh yes! I was listening to somebody else all this while!!!
SShhhhabbaaa!!
First one is classic 🙂 All time suitable response for kids of today is “SShhhhabbaaa!!”
😀 😀 loved his response for the first conversation 😀 😀
I realised two years back that the boy is quite strong in reasoning. So most of the time I meekly accept whatever he says. BTW whose genes are in action here ;)!?
@Sri , Titaxy: Tough times:)
@Jo: Now be nice, and give the mommy some credit.
Its your genes. I don’t deny that. But then you can’t complain. Can you ;)?
Loved his “Greek” response. Stop bothering the oevrworked kid about little things like apple bits
Loved the responses, particularly the one relating to apples!
@ Chocolate: Yes, if you say so! He’ll erect a temple for you if he gets to read this comment. So, I will do my best to hide it:)
@ Swapna: Aah! You too! You don’t agree with him, do you?!!
You eat 2 or 3 apples in a day????
Chumma kadhe! Make believe:)

The first one is priceless 😛
LOl @ ling badlo, vachan badlo!

I asked him the same question!
Moral of story – Never get into argument with your kids 😉
100% true! But a tough thing to implement!
