Daddy's Girl

Daddy J: Ooo nice tattoo (at a model on TV)
Mommy J: I thought you didn't like tattoos.
Daddy J: Well....
Mommy J: What if your daughter goes and gets a tattoo??
Daddy J: She won't. She'll be a good girl....and even if she does, it will say " I love Daddy".

Daddy J: You bloody buffalo. Can't you find any other place to stand and talk on the phone. You're blocking the damn road.
Mommy J: Your daughter is going to call everyone buffalo if she hears you say it.
Daddy J: No she won't. She'll be a good girl...and say'dear Mr. Buffalo please move.'

Mommy J: It's Friday night. You think the lil one is going to be a party animal?
Daddy J: No No. We'll take her to the temple every Friday.
Mommy J: Temples close at 8. Party time starts only after that!
Daddy J: Uhmm..ok...uh.... it's ok. she can party!
Mommy J:(stumped) really????
Daddy J: Ya I'm cool with it! I love partying too. I'll go out with her friends as well :D

Mommy J: Let's start with an apple.
Daddy J: What about mangoes?
Mommy J: No. then we'll give her carrots.
Daddy J: Gobi Manchurian?
Mommy J: Then little rice.
Daddy J: Coffee?
Mommy J: Then some paruppu mum mum
Daddy J: Omelettes? She hasss to like egg...please please...

What is it with being a Daddy's girl? A ban on tiny clothes or some ice-cream on a cold wintery day? No permssion for late night parties or omelette from that stall on 5th cross? Playmate at 4 AM or a bellowing "NO" when you pull down a glass plate? A cuddle when sleepy or a ride on his shoulders at the zoo? A proud pat for wrapping your fingers around a toy or a kind glare for putting your fingers into a power outlet?

Daddy J: O she is such an amma Jou!!!
Mommy J: Not long before she switches sides.
Daddy J:
...turned around wondering why there was no answer when I caught that hopeful glee in his eye.

Happy Doctors' Day!

 I just found out that yesterday was Doctors' day... I've grown up with a few doctors in the family, a few friends are now super duper doctors, and since I've also been ill every now and then, I've been treated by unrelated unknown doctors. So here is my 5 pointer check list for lay people like you and me: 1. The next time you whine about how long you have to wait outside the doctor's office, kindly- yes PLEASE please also make sure you whine while you wait in a long queue outside the box office. After all, both are a matter of life, health, happiness and death NO?! 2. The next time the doctor prescribes antibiotics "unnecessarily", please don't take them. When you go back after 3 days with a condition that's worse off, I love watching the doctor bang his/her head on the wall once you've left. 3. If the doctor said that bump on your head is boil, it most likely is- Oh wait it can't be that simple. Dr. Google says it's a malignan...

Ask the Maami

'It takes 2 years to learn to talk and a lifetime to learn what not to talk'... or something like that! Thanks to all the 'share' and 'like' people do on facebook, quotable quotes are always readily available. First things first, we are still teaching her to talk. I am hoping the 'what-not-to-talk' bit comes only a few years later?! And what is life without the quintessential maami giving running commentary! Sahasra: 'Attthhhhaaaai' Maami: Abbabbaa... athishtam! If baby says 'athai' first first, very lucky the child is being! [Of course, Athai is the only one who lets her chew her finger] Sahasra: 'ThaaaaThaaaaa' Maami: O mama- she said Thatha- very happy you must be feeling! Sahasra: 'Tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tah ..... [I don't think she has that many Thathas] Sahasra: 'pheehpheepheeepheeee' Maami: Abbabba...etho she is wanting to talk talk... Paavam so...

Of Myths and facts

10 things they taught you in Biology class that you thought were true. 1. The human body requires 6 to 8 hours of sleep. * Hah! 4 hours and you are good to go (The doctors are not going to be changing nappies or feeding the beby). 2. Darwin's theory of evolution says "Survival of the fittest". * Fit or not, you will need to survive sleeplessness. 3. 45 minutes of exercise 5 days a week will keep you fit as a fiddle. * Changing nappies = tummy crunches    Trying to make baby sleep = 2 km walk + torso exercise + weights    Entertaining baby = 30 minute dancing lesson    Feeding baby = core muscle strengthening That's about 1200 minutes of exercise 7 days a week- the shape is still round! 4. Babies sleep for about 20 hours a day. * Where is the sub-clause telling you that those hours are split into packets of 20 minute naps and that it takes 30 minutes to get the baby into a 20 minute nap. 5. The human body is tuned to working during the day...
