Do you promise? I thomas!

Ask my younger son, Tanish if he'll promise that he is going to brush his teeth in the night and you'll hear back - "Yes, mommy, I thomas!" The first time we heard that we had a laugh! He is about 2-1/2 now and we ask him to Thomas instead of promise now :)

Dad, You are not educated!

Our son, Kushaal is turning 7 this december 7th. I have been keeping track of some quotes from him now. Here's a hilarious one.

The other day, I was going to work with Kushaal on his homework. Here's how the conversation occurred.

Kushaal : Dad, What's the answer to this question?
Dad : Son, It is blah...(some ral answer)
Kushaal : Yelling, Mom is this answer right?
Dad : Kushaal, That's right. Why are you asking mom again?
Kushaal : Dad, that's because you are not even educated!
Dad : lol, why do you think so?
Kushaal : Ofcourse, because you tell me that mom is a good teacher and she teaches me always. plus you are still going to school ( I am doing my MBA by the way). So I think you are not educated.
Dad : lol

Girl stuff Burito

The other day I was at Taco Bell's drive thru line waiting to order a Burrito. Kushaal sprang from the rear seat of my van and said, "Dad, can you order Girl's stuff Burrito for me please". I was wondering for a second, what the heck was a Girl stuff Burrito. I later on realized that it was a "Grilled Stuft Burrito". Now that's easy instead of the Girl stuff Burrito. :)

Can you see dead people?

Kushaal is 5 years old now. I started off this blog when he was three and only updated a few times since then... Alas he still has interesting questions...I am tempted to keep updating this blog with his interesting questions... Here's another one.

Kushaal was told that when people die they would go up and live with God. When we were driving home from school one day, he asked me, "Daddy, why don't I see dead people in the sky " ? I was confused and asked him why would he see dead people in the sky ? He then explained that he was told that dead people go and live with God in the sky but he couldn't see any... lol

What's in a name ?

We were expecting our second child and were in the process of finding a suitable name. We requested Kushaal who was then 4 1/2 years old to suggest a few names. He suggested "Jason", "Mathew" and a few others. We told him that these were Christian names and we wanted a Hindu name. When he asked "What is a Hindu name ? " ,  to keep it simple we told him that anyone who prays Lord Ganapathi is a Hindu. Names like "Aryan", "Manav" etc are Hindu names. So he quickly said, let's keep the baby's name Jason and make the baby pray Ganapathi and the name would become a hindu name. (lol)

Cars from God

My son , Kushaal is 4 years old now. He has a little cousin, Aryan who is 8 months old. I was teaching Kushaal not to kick Aryan and told him that children are like God. Immediately he said, "Because he is God, He must now give me a car!".

Why bagarrr rahee hon?

I was driving my car today with my 3 year old in the back seat and taking him to school. Suddenly he asked me , "Papa, why... whyyyy thum gaadi bagggar rahe hon?". I didn't understand first. But after a while I knew he was asking me as to why I was driving so fast. kids are damn smart...My son can tell me when I drive faster than usual on those streets. I had to say sorry and slow down ;).
