Its funny, to say the least, the results which emerge when kids who are expanding their communication skills experiment with new words and phrases, in a hit and trial kind of way, using them in what they think might be appropriate situations. These are a few hilarious phrases doing the rounds in the Sukhwani household these days.
We have just recovered, still not completely, from a spate of illnesses and an oft repeated phrase has been "I am feeling better."
Me (looking at a few left over morsels on Vansh's plate): Beta, finish your food!
Vansh : No mummy! I am not hungry. I am feeling better!
***********************************************************************************
I just turned on the shower inside the bathroom when I heard Vansh talk to me from outside.
Vansh: Mummy, shower on kiya? (Did you turn on the shower?)
Me: Haan beta. (Yes son)
Vansh : Little bit shower?
(I have no idea what he was thinking when he used this one.)
***********************************************************************************
Many a times, Vansh pretends to be talking on the phone with his dad and asking him, like I do at times, to get a few groceries on his way back.
Vansh: Hello Nona (thats what I call Ashwini). Will you go to Rainbow?
(pauses to wait for an answer)
OK! Get carrots, milk, apple, banana, pizza (now starts pausing between things), peanut butter-jelly (pause), chips (pause)
(eyes me for a moment to see if I have any objection with his list by far. No objection! Great!!)
Continues in one single breath - Get candies, skittles, lollipops, apple juice, orange juice!
************************************************************************************
When Vansh tries to sneak in 4 cherries instead of the 'pointed at' 3 while playing Hi-Ho Cherry O just to finish the game and proudly chirp "Vansh jeet gaya!" (Vansh won!), we tell him "Vansh, no cheating!"
A couple of days back, Jiya was trying to get her hands at one of Vansh's books to which what Vansh had to say was "Jiya, no cheating!"
