Pippa :Amma,Parts of the body!
Me [Stunned that the kid is actually learning something at school and proud that my little offspring is actually not just up to no good all the time] : Yes,baby,go on!
Pippa [Touching head] : Head !
Pippa [ Touching shoulder] : Shoulders !
Pippa [Touching eyes] : Eyes
..And so the story goes on in this manner,till she reaches her ears.She touches her ears and gives me this blank look.Apparently,she has forgotten.
Me [Giving her the raised eyebrows as though they can tell her the right answer] : Yes…??
Pippa [ After a minute of two of trying to find out the right word] : Thirugaani ! Kammal !
I’m so proud of her.I know this girl is going to be street-smart.She is never going to say “I don’t know”
