Food Tales!

Life can never be dull if there are not one but two kids around! These days J*’s Niece, let’s call her JN, is also here and we never cease to get entertained. J JN is 7 years old and she came some 20 days back alone from J*’s native place to Bangalore and has gained popularity as a brave kid J My sister in law joined us recently.

Oh, I digressed.  Anyways, below are the few excerpts from the dining table :

************

Didi-Jiju(My elder sister and BIL) being staunch vegetarians, were telling My Niece, will refer her as MN(She is 2 years old btw), about it for the fear that she might eat some non-veg stuff at her friend’s place. Jiju went one step ahead and made her learn one sentence :

“Maans khana paap hota hai”

(It’s a sin to eat meat)

After one day, when we were having food, MN thought something and suddenly asks her mother

MN : Ma, paneer paap hota hai? (she just loves paneer)

Didi : Nai, paneer paap nai hota hai

MN : Haan, paneer to paneer hota hai na

We : ROFL

JN is a foodie. She loves food to an extent that she wants her plate full always even after she is done!

So we were having dinner where didi (sister in law) was serving hot puris to her. Now JN said she wanted more.

Didi : You finish this first.

JN : I will

Didi : Pehle finish kar do, fir aapki ichha hogi to aur lena

Literal meaning : If you wish, then you take more

Supposed meaning : If you need, then you take more

JN : Ichha to hai na meri

We : ROFL

************

MN has been taught to recite a shloka before having a meal. Now even if we forget, she reminds. After the recitation didi has told her to greet everyone with “OM”

So while having her meal few days back, the following conversation happened:

MN recites the shloka.

MN  : OM Ma

Didi : OM MN

MN : OM Mausi

Me : OM MN

MN  : OM dahi.. OM khichi

We : ROFL

And these are just a few incidents. We get to experience some, every single day these days.

No doubt my blood is increasing and I am gaining weight :P
