Saturday Morning Questionnaire

My little princess wakes me on a Saturday morning at 8 am saying "sun is shining, wake up". There is no other go, I just had to wake up and start having a conversation with her. Or it has to be N who has to start playing with her.

So the last Saturday, she woke me up with her dialogue. And the conversation started. I don't know why it started, but she just popped up a question and it went something like this

ಚಿನ್ನಿ : ಕಿವಿ ವೊಳಗೆ ಏನು ಇದೆ ?
ಪಪ್ಪಾ : ಕಿವಿ ವಳಗೆ "ear drum" ಇದೆ
ಚಿನ್ನಿ : "drum" ಯಾರು ಬಾರಿಸುತಾರೆ

Translated version
Chinni: What is inside ear ?
Pappa: There is ear drum
Chinni: Who beats ear drum?

I just couldn't stop myself laughing.
The questions didn't stop. I don't know how these kids get such questions. They think out of the box and I don't even do it at my office. If I start thinking like that and put some thoughts at work, in no time I will become architect.

ಚಿನ್ನಿ : ಕಣ್ಣು ವೊಳಗೆ ಏನು ಇದೆ  ?
ಪಪ್ಪಾ : ರೇಟಿನ ಇದೆ
ಚಿನ್ನಿ: ಚರ್ಮಾ ತೋರಿಸಿ , ಇದರ ವೊಳಗೆ ಏನು ಇದೆ ?
ಪಪ್ಪಾ : "bone" ಇದೆ

And a lot more questions, which I forgot before penning it down here :(. Too bad I am.

Definitely my genes

I have noticed this with a lot of friends/colleagues. Or may be its me who is only into this, I thought, till couple of days back.

I tend to wait for people to come and join, even after an event, could be after lunch, shopping etc etc. For eg: I go with colleagues for lunch. After the lunch, they just leave without waiting for others to come. I feel its a bit awkward, others may not.

We visited a friend over the weekend. Chinni was also with us, obviously. Chinni got mingled with my friend and his wife in about 10 minutes, that was little fast than normal. Spent some more time with them and I decided to drop them to a near by restaurant. We all started towards my car, while my friend's wife was locking door and was left behind.

As we started moving, Chinni noticed that my friend's wife is left behind and said "ಆಂಟಿ ಬರಲಿ , ಎಲ್ಲರೂ ವೇಟ್   ಮಾಡಿ " (let aunty also join us, wait).

I smiled :)
