Bad Start to the month : 

 

My chittappa passed away last week and i was upset. AJ asked me why i was upset and i said my chittappa went to to ummachi and he immediately asked did he have water in his lungs too, like sridhar. i was stunned. Dont know when he listened to this and i was surprised how he related it to my appa immediately.

 

 

Ja adore tu

Just to show off my very little french knowledge, i told the kids i know French and said Ja adore tu. They asked me what it meant and i said it is something i tell you all the time and Ashu goes "Is it, do your homework?" and Ajay goes " Is it stop troubling me?". Note to self : I really need to say Ja adore tu more often than those two sentences. But atleast i got a little consolation when i said it is "I love you" and they both said, yeah you do say that often :) 

 

 

4-H

 

Ashu got selected for county level 4H - a public speaking contest. All kids who score above 90 get selected for county level. He troubled me so much to prepare, as usual though..And was mad at me for all the inputs, but when i went to pick him up..he came out holding his ribbon and said thanks ;-)

That's his way of apologizing for troubling me i guess :D

Bartering : 

Ashu's school had bartering day where the kids were allowed to bring few small things and exchange with the things that the other kids got. Ashu offered ajay taht he could take something from him and get something for him also. Ajay gave two small cars that he never played with. 

Only because he did not like those. And i guess he was expecting something great in return. :D When ashu got back he gave him a small sticky mouse that you can throw on a glassy surface and it will stick to it. And a cookie and another small car for him. Ashu got himself pokemon collection cards.

AJ threw a fit and took half of the pokemon cards! Poor Ashu got so fed up and gave it to him! 

Why this kolaveri?!

The latest "hit" song why this kolaveri has caught on to aj too. He keeps singing that line and pa paan pa paan all the time and then he asked me amma is this song about temple? I said no and asked him why..he said it says kolaveri...isn't it temple! He got totally confused with kovil and kolaveri. Hope he doesn't speak in tamil in chennai and get dharma adi!

That reminds me..i was asking them to speak in tamil and aj asked me to teach english to the paatis since that will be easier! :) Good point! but anyways, i forced them to speak in tamil and they were really murdering tamil (Esp. aj) and all of a sudden i was singing uppita tamizharai naan marakka maaten and both asked me what it meant and i said uppu means salt and asked them if they knew what tamizhar meant and ashu said pepper and aj said sugar!! *Banging my head*

then again another day i said aj you have to say something in tamil if you need this and ajay said "un peyar enna?" which is the only thing he says whenever i ask him to speak in tamil and gave him one stare and said say something else and he said "En peyar enna"?!!
