Oh! to be a child

It snowed heavily in England today.

Me: If it snows like this we wont be able to go to school tomorrow

3yo: I want the snow to stop, because I want to ride my scooter to school tomorrow

Me: Um..hm

3yo: And I want it to snow on my way back, because I want to walk

You surprise me

We are playing 'doctor-doctor'. Nidhi is the doctor and picks up a notepad and pen to give me a prescription. She uses a whole sheet of paper, and writes letters all over the page, to prescribe 'P-a-r-i-s-i-m-o-l-l'.

That's her single-handed attempt at spelling Paracetamol.

Some of her remarks on the phone to Amma today:

"I want to get married in summer"

"Last night God disturbed my sleep"

Talking about her birthday

3yo: Can we have a party outside in the garden for my birthday?

Me: It will be very cold in February, Tochi

3yo: No, we can wear coats

Me: It will be cold. Everyone would like to be indoors, no one would want to be outside.

3yo: (getting upset) Nooo... I want to have a birthday in summer
