Who Lives Where

To go with my vegetable pasta, I had a plateful of avocado topped with salt, pepper and shredded basil leaves from my plant. 

I was telling little Miss Haana that the shredded leaf is called basil leaf. And the leaf came from Mumma's plant. 

Instantly Miss Haana turned to her Papa and educated him with seriousness- Papa the leaf came from Mumma plant.

Leaf lives on Mumma plant Papa. 

And avocado lives on the plate!!!

Ofcourse!

Aquarium

The little girl has another viral throat infection - the third in the last 1 month. We both were in her doctors' waiting room this afternoon watching fishes in their aquarium. There were tiny little fishes- "Baby fishes", medium sized fishes- "Mumma fishes" and then there were bigger fishes- "Papa fishes".

Then I saw one of the fishes was eating those pellets from the sand. I told the little girl- "Look the fish is eating khaana (food)".

I had her attention.

Then I asked- "Is the fishy eating bread?"

"Yes".

I prodded on: "Is the fishy eating pasta?"

"Yes".

"Dos she also like rice?"

"No. Fish eating chicken!".

I laughed and silently thanked she hadn't said the fish is eating a fish (there seemed only herbivorous fishes in the aquarium - as best we could tell there was no carnage)!
