Rasoi or Rajai

Like everyday, its sleeping time for me. Upon my insistence, both Mummy and Papa have to put me to bed. Half the time they will be fighting about whose baby I am and who will hug me while I go to sleep. But its actually a lot of fun to see them fighting over me.

And then, Mummy will be obsessed with the fact that I might catch a cold and hence insist on covering me with a blanket even in the peak summer months.

Like everyday, even today she wanted to cover me. However, I refused and hence she decided to cover herself (at least till i was asleep and wouldnt protest being covered once again).

And then, i decided to display my superior knowledge of hindi.

"Actually, I want a रसोई (rasoi) instead of this thin blanket."

Both, in unison - "रसोई!!!"

"Yes, that thick blanket - रसोई."

Both rolling with laughter while I am wondering what's wrong with them.

"You mean रजाई and not रसोई... hahahaha....."

Unwilling to acknowledge that I may have got it wrong - "No... it is रसोई only!!"

More laughter... hahaha

Bad words

This morning, Mummy and Papa came over together to wake me up. As usual, some small talk happened.

Papa asked me who I was playing with the previous evening. I told him and also told him that I dont like to play with the big kids.

Curious as a cat, Papa piped - "Why?"

"Because they use bad words."

"What kind of words?"

"They use 'f' word and 'b' word."

Silence.....
