"What, the guy doesn't know his name?" My 7 years old was clearly worried. "He was calling himself Harris but his business card says, its Harish!". We laughed so hard and husband almost hit another car. 
   
In a coloring session with my 2 years old, he said, "Mama you colol da Aunty". When I couldn't find the said Aunty on our sheet, I asked him to show. "Oh, that is Sun beta..hahaha" and stopped promptly when he rolled his eyes and said something which was kiddie equivalent of "Woman, Sun doesn't have a face!"
      
 After weeks of hearing him sing this very annoying "What the fox says..ding..ding..ding" song,  I finally confronted him. When our 2nd grader looked startled, suddenly unsure of his gyan I proceeded with caution. "Err..beta.... I don't think this song means what you think it means.Fox sound like this inappropriate word..." Now clearly enjoying the conversation he laughed, " you think it is is FUCK. hahaha..No Ma, it really IS a kids song. Even A's teacher played it in their class once." Oh well, I surrender.
         
 He was looking intently at a cover page of his big brother's book. To make sure he is not frightened by it, I gently started the conversation, " You know, we all look like that from inside. Ojas is like that, dada is like that..." cutting-my-long-story-short, he looked at me and simply said, " It is Mamma!" . Well, What the fox says..
