Her: Amma what are you and appa doing for Valentine’s day?
Me: Nothing.
Her: I hope you are atleast planning to go out in the evening?
Me: I’m impressed that you think we are young enough to celebrate Valentine’s day.
Her: Amma, there is no age limit for love.
– Wise words? Or maybe the kid is just trying her best to get us out of the house so she can watch some TV.
Him: I will be home late today.
Me: Poor appa. All work and no play…
Kiddo: Amma, all work and no play increases appa’s salary!
– Cheeky kiddo sure has her comebacks down pat these days. Poor appa.
Me: You should listen to me. I do know more.
Her: Yes amma. I know. Old people are wiser.
– Ouch! I suppose claiming to be young at heart won’t really cut it?
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.
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!
