Oh! These Martians

He {pointing to a glass, with his fingers touching the glass}: Wify! Can you get me some water? Here is the
glass.

Please note, he was only pointing to the glass, he did not take the glass to his wife. He was pointing out to his wife, this is where you can find glasses. And I think out loud... Are men wired to do these things or do they acquire these traits the moment they get tagged 'The Husband'?

Dil Dauda Dauda

Kiddo {while we were cooking with the FM on}: How can that be possible? How will the heart run?
Me {all excited, with eyes lit up & a beaming smile}:Oooo... It does happen baby... It does happen...
Kiddo : But how can that be? Will the heart come out of the body & run?
Me : I dont know how to explain it... But you will understand it when you fall in love
Kiddo {with a long face}:But with whom will I fall in love?
Me : You may never know... You will get someone for that
Kiddo {her face growing longer}: But then what if he doesn't like me?
Me {now I am doing the daud looking for answers}: Then you dont jump into anything & keep looking for the one who likes you & whom you like.

This bit of conversation was inspired by the song lines 'Dil Dauda Dauda". I don't know which song these lines are from nor its movie.

Mr. SP.... I know we are not in the best of our settings but... WHY DOES SHE HAVE TO GROW UP SO FAAAAAAST??? :'(

Note to Self : Find someone to give her actual relationship tips!

Stay overs

She {all excited and high pitched}: So we can come & stay here every weekend????

This was her response to my mother's travel plans... :-D The mix of innocence in her voice & question did make me smile from some where deep within... :-) More importantly... the fact that bringing kids up does do strange things to people... Every body needs some sort of off-loading and at regular intervals.... :-)

Not Mine

"They're not my sheep any more," he said to himself, without nostalgia. "They must be used to their new shepherd, and have probably already forgotten me. That's good. Creatures like the sheep, that are used to traveling, know about moving on."

I used to have a colleague. Whenever we play anthakshari during team outings, there are certain songs which will take you through a typical sequence. So, he skips all those & comes to the end of that sequence. This series of conversation... Yea... thats what I do now... Go with the flow wait for the "Oh!" part & then carry on with the regular conversation.
