Conversation with Sempi this morning. Me: I’m going to finish making the fried rice and then we can do our usual shenanigans. What do you say? Sempi: Yeah, you finish the fried rice and then we’ll throw it in our mouths. It was a wonderful morning. :)
We were sitting at a restaurant eating brunch. Yoshi got Calamari which was served with a lemon. Sempi is sipping his orange juice. Suddenly he drops this pearl of wisdom. Why do we call an orange, orange but don’t call a lemon, yellow? Yoshi and I both choked on our food from laughing so hard.
We’re all having dinner as a family. Sempi is complaining about the food. He eats a little, here and there. Yoshi warns him to eat well or he might get hungry later. He doesn’t pay any attention. Dinner is over and he’s ready for bed. Yoshi is reading him a story. Sempi declares he’s hungry now. Yoshi: You should have eaten well when we were all having dinner. Sempi: I’m hungry....
I’m playing Tamil songs on the computer and busting my moves. Sempi: Appa why does this song keep saying ‘poop’. Me: Haha. It’s not saying ‘Poop’, it’s saying ‘poo’. I guess that’s not any better. In Tamil ‘Poo’ means flower. They’re singing about a flower. Sempi: ‘Poo’ means flower? Me: Yeah. But to be fair we had that word a long time before English. English stole it from us. Sempi: How do you steal words?...
Early Wednesday morning. I’m entertaining both Sempi and Vian. I start to play some music (Tamil songs) and decided to dance. Sempi reaches for his ear muffs and Vian starts to bounce to the music. I have the sudden realization that both the kids are doomed to be dorks if they’re learning dance moves from me. Naturally, I start dancing harder.
