Babble

Normally to make my son's appetite a bit better, I divert his attn onto something else so that he doesnt realise that he is eating (the pathetic eater that he is!) Usually I make my own stories abt his friends or other things that interest him.

However the other day, for a change, he created his own story & told me the following during his dinner time! The story doesnt quite make sense but I liked the way he tried to say so & it was just so spontaneous & very expressive too! Read on if u like the made up babble!

Once upon a time, there was a man who lived in the forest. This man had big and strong muscles. The lion came to fight with this man but as this man was so very strong, he fought with the lion very well. The lion was very hungry and weak but it was stronger than the tiger. The lion boxed the tiger & the tiger fell down. Then the lion jumped on the polar bear & it went inside the water. In the forest there were elephants, rhinos, hippos, cheetahs, leopard, monkeys, giraffes etc & they all wanted to eat more food to become more strong.

Then this man wanted to do his shopping & he drove his car & came to X(my son's favourite shopping mall). He bought himself a big quad bike, onions, potatoes, tomatoes, beans etc. He also bought skating shoes, toys and paints.

And then comes his dad & oopsy there ends the story in the excitement of seeing his dad!

Maybe some of you have heard this already....I think it is quite true...."If you have a child, you are a parent, if you have two, you are a referee!!!" My kids live upto this!

My one year old loves to bite her older brother & also hit him! Knowing very well that my son can't bite her (not atleast when I am around!), he says this to me abt his little sis - "Amma, I think she ought to have a small little baby brother who is also gonna bite her & beat her nicely"!

I said " I am not gonna have any more babies...the two of you are more than enuff." He says "No I want u to have....otherwise I'll put a big injection in your tummy and a baby brother is gonna be born...just to bite her"!!!!! *How simple eh?! And mean too?! ;-)*
