Ammusings - 5!

Each time I vanish and pop-up after a few months; I notice that I come up with a post of Ammusings as one of them will always be lying in my drafts. Here's one more for you and me:

Ammu: "Amma, I really don't care about American Presidents!"

Me: Why?

Ammu: "Because I am not an American..

I am an Indian"

Me: So, who is the Indian president?

A: Obama

Me: hehehe...no .....he is the American President

A: "Then who is the Indian president?"

Me: Pranab Mukherjee

A: Moh- kah-who?

Me: Pranab Mukherjee

A: What's his first name?

Me: Pranab

A: Para..What is the last name?

Me: After a good 5 minutes of trying to say the name right

A: Abraham Lincoln lives on a Penny!!

It took me a few seconds to understand that

And George Bush lives on a Quarter!

Ammu: "Amma, the girl's bathroom in the school smells nasty, yucky and horrible!"

Me: "Why do you think so?"

A: "Because you know kids don't flush properly"

Me: Ohh!!

A: "You know if you crack an egg...and the yolk comes out?"

Me: Hmm

A:"Like take another egg and crack it and there are three eggs with yolks open"

Me: Ewww

A: And you know it smells as if it stayed there for 58 years!

Me: 58 yrs???? OMG

Don't know where that number came from...sigh!!

One evening while her dad was doing his stretches:

Ammu: "Nanna, did you know what?"

S: "What?"

A: People are symmetrical

    Becuase they have sides

    Separates her legs and touches her left leg and right leg

    See.... look at my nose

    There are two sides!!

Ammu started collecting money for Jump Rope for Heart Event. When I asked her to give her contribution; she said she would do it at the end.

She adds one dollar at the end to the list of names

Me: "How come you donated only one dollar?"

Ammu in her nonchalant way: "Because I don't want to waste my money"

Me: Seriously???

While practicing music, Ammu suddenly waves off her head and says this thing makes me mad.

Me: "What thing?"

Ammu: "There are these two boys who told me: hey girl, do you know how a booty looks like?"

Me: Surprised and shocked: "they said that? to you?"

Ammu: "Yes, to me! They are big hypocrite boys who are stupid!"

Me: "What is hypocrite?" (She hears her brother use it often )

She actually doesn't know the meaning but wanted to use it for the complexity of the word and thinks that is a really bad, bad, bad cuss word.

Me: Next time if they say that, tell them: "Go ask your mommy and she will show you what a booty looks like..." (I was really mad)

After a few days...

Ammu: I saw them again...I wanted to smack their head with something!

Glad you didn't!!
