Oh Brother



When I reached home last evening Nikita showed me this drawing she made.
I looked at it, smiled & asked“Where is the ‘r’ in the brother?”

“The ‘r’ is silent” said Nikita after a moments thought.

I looked at her open-mouthed for a sec & then rolled my eyes. Just the day before she asked me the spelling of Ballet, there I explained that ‘t’ was silent & that was why it was pronounced like that.

A minute later…. I asked “But why have put a brother in your family picture? You don’t have one, right.”

“Yes I wanted to talk to u about it. Why don’t u lay one?”

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH……I was speechless for 2 mins this time.

“Take out your homework and start doing it. Not another word till you finish it”

Lay a brother…….like laying an egg or something. I wasn’t going to touch that one with a bargepole.

  5. Ps: all ur posts make me ponder abt 'stuff':-).

    preethi: now when i read it, i find it funnier :-D

    ISH and Sunshine: straight face? when my lips start to wobble i turn my face away. but the kids can smell it(my amusement ie) & they dance around trying to catch me smiling. in the end all 3 of us will laugh loud & hard. But in this case i just hurried in2 my room...really i cdnt afford 2 let them know i found it funny otherwise they'll make my life miserable asking for a brother every 10 minutes :-o.

  7. :D That was simply too much. My stomach is hurting with all the laughing.
    Neha wants me to get her a big brother. Now that is a tough one. Every time I visit the hospital, She asks me " Where's the baby?"
    Sigh, I wish it were that fast, kid!!
