Aku’s banter timeline

My younger son ( now 2years), went on saying the same thing again and again.

I passed a comment that he is behaving like a worn-out tape recorder.

Akash said, “Amma, not like that, like a GIF”.

Akash when asked his dad about something, dad said, “Ask mom”

Akash : Most of the dads are elder than moms, then how is it that dads don’t know anything and moms know everything??

Akash conversing with his grandma over phone at 8.45 PM on a week day.

A: paati, we are going to watch the movie, “the sound of music”

Paati: Now, don’t you have school tomorrow? When will you go to bed then?

A: paati, we won’t watch the whole movie, just BINGE WATCH for 15 mins.

Paati: @#₹_&+(

Dec 22 was National Mathematics day to commemorate Srinivas Ramanujan’s birthday.

I told this to Akash yesterday and he could not understand. I further explained that Ramanujan was a great mathematician like Shakuntala Devi( as we had watched that movie) and he understood.

Srini said, ” But Ramanujan did complex maths, you can do anything when you know maths. For eg. You can find the distance between two countries by looking at a map with the help of various parameters. ”

Akash: You told me distance is measured in kilometers, now you are saying “parameters.
Which is the right one?
We: 😐

I showed Aku a pic of my late grandfather.

Aku: Where is he now?

Me: He is dead.

Aku: Where did he die?

Me: In his house in Palakkad.

Aku: I have never seen him in that house in Palakkad.

Me: He died when you were in my tummy.

Aku: So he must be lying down( thinking

Dead means lying down) somewhere in that house, right?

Me: No, after he died, people burn his dead body.

Aku: Oh, why? Are people in Palakkad bad?

Me: No, no. We should not keep deadbodies at home. They would get decomposed.

Aku: Oh, what does decompose mean?

Me: Spoilt😒

Aku: Oh, like they become hard and thick and warm..

Me: (wondering what got spoilt while hard and thick and warm)… 😲

Akash is learning the concept of ‘One’ and ‘Many’ at school. He knows ‘pen, pens’, ‘pencil, pencils’, like that. His first tooth fell off recently and I asked him if he knew the ‘one and many’ words for ‘pal'( tooth, in Tamil). I specifically asked in Tamil to understand if he knew both the words, “tooth” and “teeth”.

His answer: Pal and Pals

I made Akash’s favourite cone dosai(ghee roast) at home this morning. He was very happy.

I made simple plain dosas for me and my hubby.

Akash came in and asked, “Why aren’t you making more cone dosas for you and Appa? ”

Me: Because you are special and I know that you like them.

Akash: But you and Appa are special too, ma.

😍😍🥰🥰😘😘

Akash shows his mother his grade 1 notebooks and gets the page signed by her(any parent) everyday.

Today, he asked his dad to sign and he did.

Akash complains to mom: amma, Appa is not signing properly. Teach him how to sign. (Because his sign was different than mine) 😀

Me while giving Aku a bath: You don’t need this stool anymore, you have become tall enough for the wash basin.
Aku: We can use it for Nishaan then.
Me: Yes, of course.
Aku:When he grows, we ll give it away to some one who needs it.
Me: No, we can use to climb on to it when needed.
Aku: ok ok, when another baby comes in our house, we can use it.
Me: No, there won’t be any more babies in our house.

They rode even faster and Akash came triumphant shouting”Yay, I’m the loser”
