These days, its common to find Varun *’peter-vuttufying’. For instance, “Amma, waataavu dooving?” is something he likes to say often. Translation: Amma, what are you doing?
A convo
Amma: Varun is a ….?
Varun: Gubboy! (good boy!)
Amma: Varun is a very…?
Varun: very very gubboy!
Amma: Varun, where is the door?
Varun: It ees yeer (It is here- shows the door)
Amma:Very good! Where is the chair?
Varun: It is yeer! (points at the chair). Ummmm.. Where is the baashket? (eying his school basket, which is placed next to his anna’s lunch basket)
Amma: You tell me.
Varun: It is yeer! very very good!
Amma/Varun: clap! Clap!
Varum: Ummm.. Where is ‘innoru’ baashket? (looks at his anna’s basket. innoru- another:))
We have a laugh! And just then, the dad walks-in.
Amma: Where is appa?
Varun: It is yeer!!
PS: * Tamil slang mocking at people speaking in English..
life under the sky 
Good job Vidya.. next thing you need to teach him is Uyirinam and Akrinam
LOL…this Varun is such a sweetheart…he is speaking Tamil English..pretty similar to R’s Mumbaiyya Hindi/English 🙂 heeheh
Appa-kku chair/basket treatment. Adhile ammakku ivlo sandhosham. and i like how he was not satisfied with calling himself a very good boy and wanted a “very very very” good boy 😀
Lol @ It is yeer and innoru bashket! 🙂
BTW, what was the poor Appa’s reaction after being referred with a ‘It’??
appavum “It-a?”.. poor appa.. lol at “It is yeer”…
lol…
Cute. so very cute 🙂
ha ha! Appa- It is here !! priceless!
Peter can also be a Bharati, meaning, he can be equally proficient in another wonderful language, Tamil. All the best!
🙂 🙂
I’m in all smiles.. Very cute 🙂
@LR: Why have you switched to Greek all of a sudden?!
@RM: Yeah, cocktails!
@Abi: Thinks too much of himself..
@S & S: Appa gracefully laughed it off.. Does he have a choice;)?
@Ani: I can only say that kids ‘know’ better;)
@Titaxy: :))
@Comfy: It was a sight:)
@Bhargavi: Yes, I can keep reminding him of this for years:)
@Narayanan: By virtue of being in TN and due to constant exposure to Tamizh, I think it will be easy to imbibe the language.. I will be of no help here because, well, he’ll be better off without my help.. in fact am learning with the elder one:)
@Charu: :))
@ Tharani: I make him say ‘it’ every day now:)
Ha ha ha! too cute 🙂
🙂 🙂
LOL..R says gubboy too..”It ees yeer” is soo cute..

@Uma: I think the kids have a dialect of their own:)
@Aparna: LOL! Imagine addressing the grands that way!
