If you too
have a toddler at home just like me, then this is just the post to read. My
daughter has very clear priorities when it comes to food. Anything that spells chicken
makes her extremely happy. On a recent evening Smera was yet again hungry post
her dinner.

| hungry child |
Smera: “Mamma, I am
hungry”
Me: “What do you want to eat Smera? Shall I give
you rice?”
Smera: “Yes with chicken”
Me: (Turning to hubby) “there
is no chicken, shall I offer her S-A-U-S-A-G-E-S?” I purposely spelt
this one out as hubby is not huge fan of Smera eating sausages.
Smera: On seeing me take so
time to spell it out, she blurts out, “Mamma can you please speak properly?
Daddy cannot understand”.
To be fair to her, I did take
time to spell the word sausages, courtesy enhanced technology we use these
days. I am sure many of us find it hard to get the spelling right, relying too
much on squiggles and auto-prompt assistance.
Hence the hungry child lashed
out on me, making me feel really silly!

ReplyDeletehave been missing your posts since long and then here i get this one :D
I remember the time when my parents used to communicate using abbreviations, 'M' used to be for Mama, 'PC' for Play Computer. At first I didn't understand them, but later I just used to have fun as I had deciphered their code and thus understood every single word they said:P .
ReplyDeleteThat sounds nothing like chicken, she must have thought ha ha
ReplyDeleteChildren remind us at times things we are becoming a little weak at,many a times.amid you did speak out about a problem which has become terrible monster for me .. ask me to spell anything .. even anything .. I get confused ... thanks to the spell checks and the era of digitization .. :)
