Talk

Last couple days the little girl has been sniffling. Inhaling steam is a good remedy for noses with cold, but holds logistics and practical challenges.

So, Daddy was explaining to little Gugu- "I'm going to put this pan of boiling water in the washbasin. You can climb up on the stool and then we will lean into the pan from which steam will be coming it. Take deep breaths but don't touch anything. Remember, the pan will be very, very, very, very hot." 

Could more "very"s be added to that sentence? Probably not.

But on hearing the instructions, what did a visibly anxious and disconcerted Gugu ask?

"But Daddy... But... Would I be able to talk?"
