A mother goes to the kitchen and finds her kid playing with honey. She is very annoyed and wants to tell her off. What does she say?
You will come to a sticky end!
– An original from my 8 year old wannabe comedian who has a pj for every occasion.

I wonder if we’re like a louse living in someone’s head. A clump of hair would be like a galaxy. And we’d all be crawling around in our own world.
– Bedtime musings of an overactive imagination 🙂
Me: Why can’t you just accept something and do it because I said so and not keep asking questions?
Kid 1: It’s good to question, amma, so you can learn… 🙂
Kid 2: …and be knowledgeable and be a gyaani 🙂
– And now they are volleying back in tandem. Why, oh why!
Sometimes we like to shut off our ears. It depends on what we want to hear.
– Says the kid who can hear me gossiping with her dad in the next room, but turns a deaf ear when asked to clean the table.
Just you wait, my cheeky little kiddo! The next time you call out for help with washing the shampoo out of your hair, guess who’s hearing will be gone? *Evil grin*
Me: I just sneaked some grapes from your sister’s fruit bowl and now I’m going to sneak some from you.
Her: You don’t have to sneak amma. I’ll share mine with you…
*And I turn away, pretending that a speck of dust just got into my eyes.*
