"..., Mommy, he really needs to join a dance class so someone can teach him," said Raina this afternoon, while listening to the song. A few days ago, she wanted to know what "saala" meant. That was a hard one. "It's just an exclamation, baby, like oh my gosh," I said, lying through my teeth.
Somehow she's not convinced.

oops she may go apply that" oh my gosh" indiscriminately Muser !Do keep a watch and post on the sequel /
Well tried! Do tell if she has any "oh gosh" moments after this! :)
As for asking Pappu to join a dance class...brilliant observation and one that can only come from the mouths of babes!
Hehehehe, EL and Mamma Mia! I hadn't thought about that!
Trust her to come up with that one! I want to read more Raina-isms on a regular basis!
Trust Raina to come up with another gem! She rocks!
Such a sensible solution!
:) She is a funny one. A very logical mind.
Yeah, well - I told my kids that ! And now my kids sing the song (they quite like it) and go "Saala" nice and loud. And then they look at my face and ask me why I look like I'm in pain :-)
Amodini, Raina just began saying "saala" with as much gusto as the rest of the words. Makes me wince too.
a muser:
here's a song, in raina's honour!
- s.b.
p.s.: why don't you give her the 100% true (and simple) explanation - brother-in-law? :-)
s.b., thanks for the song :) and i don't want to give her the true explanation because then i'd have to spend the next half-hour explaining why pappu is the brother-in-law of a whole bunch of people. and at the end of the half-hour she'll still have more questions :)
LOL! This girl is really observant. Dance classes indeed!
I had that discussion with S too - what does Saala mean? Of course I told her everything (brother-in-law AND a cuss word) but she is old enough for that.
GTN, she is indeed! Now wait till your youngest asks you...
Then I'll come to you for tips :P
ROFL! R rocks!
:) Thanks, Chox!
You are tagged Ma'am - take it up pronto
EL, I'll get to it, I promise. Am feeling a bit braindead these days.
My girls thought Saala is like another name like Pappu, I have yet to correct them on that.
I should've tried that, Asaaan! That's a good one!
