I am in college, supervising an M.Com exam. The head-bent students are writing feverishly. In the pin-drop silence, a cellphone rings. Mine. Flushing with embarrassment, I pick it up.
“Hello?” (in a distressed whisper)
“HAA –LLO? MAA-A-A?” (high-pitch, full blast, sing song)
It’s the Copy-kitten, my younger daughter, calling to give me the momentous news that she has returned home from school. As I try to cut her off mid-flow because an examinee wants a supplementary sheet, she asks me:
“Bolo toh aami ki korchhi (can you tell me what am I doing)?”
“What are you doing, sweetheart?” (with gritted teeth, in a hissed-out whisper, and barely concealed impatience).
“Tomakey phone korchhi, sillybilly (I am calling you, sillybilly).”
You just can’t win with kids.

Lol! That Copy Kitten is one smart kitty! :D
Cute moments to cherish life long :)
Silly billy ! Now try beating that !!!
ROTFL !!
Some M.Com exam. It must have been !
:)
That was cute!
She at least let you know she reached home safe, sparing you from some unnecessary worry!
Sillibilly needs to enjoy this while it lasts. There will soon be a time when roles will be reversed. You worrying and questioning loudly in panic mode, and the little one, whispering in reply....
So cute. That's why child is the father of man.
This Innocence is brilliant I hope it will stay...
adorable! children are incorrigible! :) :)
I am relieved that your strike at college ended. Sohini just wanted to be in touch with you as she returned to school. Nice post.
:) You should put in cellphone in the silent mode!
hahahhahha sillybilly!! loved that. kids make our days!!
Ha ha ha! She is smart :)
Very Cute. I used to put the cell phone in silent mode. I would check my phone at the approximate time of the kids arrival at home from school. I used to find at least 5 missed calls from them... ;)...You CAN never win.. :)
Hahahha :D
It's a compliment to you that she's so smart :D
Kids bring us to earth very effectively. Teacher, CEO, whatever ..to them you are 'just' a parent and a sillybilly!!
Smart kitten you've got! You'll remember wonderful moments like these, even many years later.:)
The little one made my day:)))))))
We spent the morning visualising your reaction and laughing over it.
Very cute :)

To keep the child in me alive I am going to do this to my wife one day! ;)
Good idea!!

It is like my niece whom i ask ki "beta aap kya kar raha hai" and pat she replies ki "aapse phone pe baat kar raha hao aur kya".
