The complex words of a 4 year old

We were watching a orchestra play on you tube , it was Pirates of the Caribbean and Mira was full of awe. After finishing one round, she requested it to be replayed. During the second session, she said
" I would like to play this, this and this" pointing to the trumpets, the circular trumpets and the drums.
After a while she said, " I think the circular trumpet is too complicated, I will stick to trumpet and drums" .

Such big decisions at that age to figure out what is complicated and what is not :-)

The racist

I never expected Mira to be one, or maybe racist is too deep a word. You decide what to deem her...

We were in Carrefour doing grocery's when she saw a Fruitale sweet. She asked was it an Adult sweet or kid sweet. I told her it was for children. She said then, could she buy it..

Me : No , we cant get it Mira
Mira : Tell me why
Me : It has beef gelatine. Indians do not eat beef
Mira : Then who can eat this
Me : Most Indians should not eat beef. Others can
Mira : But i am not Indian
Me : Then what are you?
Mira : i'm English

Ouch...

We were having dinner last night and she said ,
Mira : Amma, the sky is so Tamilish
Me : Huh? Why
Mira : Its so dark.

Oh dear. I hope she doesn't get into trouble for this when she grows big...

Hehe...

Mira's starting school

Little one has started school two days back. She seems to be just going with the flow. When we ask her what she ate in school, she says nothing.What did you do - Nothing. Did you play? - No.
Hmm... we probably need some spy cameras installed like some other kindy.

We were at the supermarket over the weekend as she was sitting on the trolley while being pushed by Saisha. She told Saisha, " Akka , push faster. " Before we could say anything, she started singing loudly ,

" I will survive , I will survive"

LoL , a bit too much for a 3.and a half year old. Hope she sings this in school too..

Boss

I was on my laptop doing work, when Mira saw my laptop email screen , when my boss pic was and said. How come you talking to Rajinikanth?
I said no, thats my boss.
She asked, why is he wearing Saisha's school tie?

What was i supposed to say? He was wearing a red tie like Saisha..

One day Mira was sitting on the sofa with her toy barbie phone . We were on the dining table when we heard her talking
" Yes Boss, I am fine"
" Yes yes. My children are ok"
" Yes, They are on the table, doing work"
" Yes , Computers all ok Boss"

LOL!

Little einsteins influence

I was on the bed last night combing Mira's hair when she turned around to me and said.
" Amma, adagio amma. Please."

Haha...she had wanted me to do it slowly but chose to converse in Italian instead..

----


Its amazing how a 3 and half has so much to say just from listening to the people around her.

Today morning she was questioning me on why her small pillow had no pillow case. And she continued by saying, " Without the pillow case, i can see the dust in it. But , i think i cant see. I might need a microscope to see it. Or maybe a magnifying glass"

I seriously never knew about a microscope at that age!

Indian ?

Mira conversing with Mom while watching the Tamil cooking channel.


Mira :Amayee, why they talking Tamil?
Mom : Because they are Indians
Mira : You?
Mom : We are all Indians
Mira : I am not, I am English
Mom : No Mira, you are not. You are Indian.
Mira : Ok, I am Indian English then..


LOL..

Repetition of what she hears

Mira commented this yesterday,


" Amma, why is akka and Singada going to Government school. They should go to Tamil Schools" .


The fact is neither of her sistes go to government schools,they go to private. Wonder where she picks it up.

Today, Mira asked me," Mom, would you like some home made chocolates? I can make you some.."


Haha..that is definitely from the Food Network Channel.
