Funny Things that Happen Everyday

Funny things that happen everyday:

Heard today from the back seat of the car while Papa was putting the little girl in the car seat- I'll give you a timeout Papa!

After more than 30 minutes of trying to put the little girl to nap, she gets up, puts both her hands on my cheeks and looks at me with overwhelming concern and anxiety. And say- Mumma, what's your name?!!

This morning the little girl got up and said Mumma I want to go and sleep on my Mini sofa. And then I want to wake up. Is that a plant Mumma? That a plant?

(I figure it is a plan!)

Pop Quiz

This evening as usual I picked up Miss Haana from her day care and we were on out way back home. What I wasn't aware of, was that it was pop quiz time.

Just out of the blues, I thought it was appropriate to check if I picked the right baby from the daycare. So, while driving I bantered, "Gugu, are you Gugu? Is that you Gugu?" She said "Yes. It's Gugu. It's called Suhaana". 

"Oh, is your name Suhaana?"

"Yes, it's called Suhaana. You're right".

"What's your name Mumma?"

"Uh, I don't know Gugu".

"Mumma name is Rangoli".

"Oh, is that right?"

"Yes, that's right"!

"What's Papa name, Mumma?"

Continue playing dumb: "I don't know!"

..

I wasn't scoring very well on this pop quiz. But at least I was being told what the right answers were!

Mumma Name

For the longest time the question "What is Mumma's name" got a response of "Psss" (that evoked many a laughs by everyone except Mumma).

Don't get me wrong. This little girl is extra smart in picking up all kinds of stuff that gets us wondering daily 'Where'd she learn that from'. (She knows her own name since a long time). But when it was about Mumma's name, the answer was persistent and consistent. 

But as of today, we've broken that record! And the response is now Mumma's real name and not a strange sound of "Pssstt". As for me, I'm proud of my little baby. And relieved my name is not "Psstt"!
