Someday

Conversation between my nine year old daughter and her father.

Appa: Make me some tea.

Her: Someday, appa. I’m not saying I’ll make it now, or tomorrow or later. But someday.

Appa: I’ll also send you to college someday. I’m not saying I’ll send you when you are ready to go or the year after. But someday.

Her: I’ll find some way to go to college. And I’ll find some way to become a billionaire. And then I won’t give you my money!

– Poor appa, there goes his retirement plan. He seems to keep getting outwitted again and again and yet again.

The moral of the story

Me: I’m glad you had a proper breakfast this morning.

Her: What’s an “improper” breakfast amma?

– And the moral of the story is to beat your kids into submission early on so they don’t pass smart-aleck comments such as these.

 

Arsenic

Arsenic may have gained notoriety as a deadly poison, but it is useful in many more ways than just to bump off your nearest relative so that you can inherit a huge fortune!

Entry from my older daughter’s Chemistry project.

Should I be worried? Not that I have a huge fortune, but still…

Mission impossible

Her: Amma, your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to come to our school this evening and pick us up after sports day.

Me: But what about my Sunday afternoon nap?

Her: This message will self-destruct in five, four, three…

– Somebody has been keeping up with Hollywood, it seems. What’s more, somebody knows just the right thing to say to convince her mother 😉

Work-wise part 2

Her: Appa, who is a CEO?

Appa: A Chief Executive Officer is the head of a company.

Her: So does a CEO execute the officers who don’t do their work properly?

– Methinks, the cheeky brat has her strategy for tripping up her father down pat. Nicely played, kiddo!
