two gems from the chota mutt today….
“Tu jab mujhe lene aayega to shave bana ke aana nahin to aisa karata chop maaroongi ke tu marr hi jaayega”… slightly amused I’m like “haan but I was thinking of growing a bigger beard”…. pat comes the reply “kyun tujhe Narendar Modi banna hai??”…. I’m thinking to myself “bring me a bottle of Veet please”…..

A little later I was in the shower and she was outside drying off after her shower…. says “I want to take a popping candy chocho for Rhyka, tere ko piggy bank mein se paise de doongi, kitne hote hain”… I’m like it’s ok I’ll get it for you on the way to school…. a little later “maine teen 50 rakh diye hain tere wallet mein”…. I’m like “whaaa you have 3 fifties in your piggy bank?”…. anyway later while getting out I check my wallet and fair enough there were three shiny new 50 paisa coins in the coin pocket….. the kid got her chocholates 😀

A few hours back we were at a grocery store…. I said “no” to Iras’ question “can we get a cold drink?”…. then she asked “why not?”.. so I said “you have a bad throat”…. a little later she came back holding a bottle of pepsi says “look what I found, this is a warm cold drink”… what can I say…. I mean could’ve told her that the sugar also aggravates her throat irritation but then look at that earnest face… I mean do you really think I could’ve explained sugar to this determined young imp???!!!

At the checkout counter the shopkeeper says “card machine has gone bad, there is no network, so please pay cash”…. I checked my wallet and began rearranging the purchases to fall within the amount I was carrying… so Ria asks “why can’t we pick cash from the ATM”, I say “coz we’ll get notes of 2K and he wont have change then” so she says “lets go and try in the ATM I’m sure you’ll get 500 rupee notes”… we go to the ATM, well more like I get dragged trashing and bawling, and get mint fresh 500 rupee notes so Ria says “see, I am always right” so I’m like “yes yes all of you girls are always right”…..

later in the car Iras’ observation “I am always right about things like cold drinks and dida is always right about money”
