Lazy Sunday morning. Yoshi is making an origami star to adorn our one foot christmas tree. Sempi is sitting there watching the whole ordeal. Yoshi finishes the star and looks at it and says “This star is not perfect but who needs perfection”. Sempi pipes up with “I do”.
Sempi is driving a toy fork lift with a load. Sempi: Appa I got a package for you. Me: OK, can I have it? Sempi: No! (Then drives away). Lesson learned, life can be hard sometimes, get used to it. Except, I am the one supposed to teach him life lessons.
We’re at our ancestral village attending a family function. The priest is chanting the mantras at the top of his voice. Sempi: Appa, why is he yelling at us? Me: He’s not yelling Sempi, he’s chanting. Sempi: Why? Me: He’s summoning God. Sempi: There is no God. Me: Hahaha. Who told you that? Sempi: You did. I don’t remember teaching him that, but I’m proud he got the message. :)
We’re at a restaurant. Sempi: I want juice. Yoshi: I’ll get ice cream. Sempi: I want juice and ice cream. Me: Would you also like a pony and a unicorn? Sempi: No I wouldn’t. They’re not food Appa.
Sempi loves pickles. He’d eat them at every chance. We’re at an indoor play place in Chennai. We ordered some fried potato wedges. When they were delivered, Sempi exclaims “Appa, I found bread pickles”.
