( Baby and Babloo want to watch Chandra uncle serial. But Grandma doesn't allow them to watch it .)
Babloo: Grandma , it is story time now..
Baby: Grandma..today you should tell us a Raja Rani story
Babloo: Grandma.. the story must be 'ntresting!..
Here we have a new Bablooism. He is always focussed on brevity, in consonants or vowels or both!
Baby: Yes..it should have a prince also..
Babloo: Yes..but no princess..
Baby: No grandma , I want princess also..
Babloo: No... princess will cry..
Baby: No ooo..They are brave.. they won't cry..
Babloo: No..Boys will be brave.. they won't cry.. Girls will cry always..
Babloo my pet, you have no idea of the contradictions in which you are about to get entangled. Your Rajat Uncle, aka Chandra, is about to not just cry like a leaky tap, but to literally howl and blubber like a 2 year old Yes, yes, I know that you don't cry, Babloo darling, but then you are three!.😉 I did not like it at all, and neither, my pet, are you going to be able to tolerate it. But since Chandra is undoubtedly a boy, and a brave one, if you go on making such unfounded assertions about boys being brave and not crying, you are going to look very silly. So back off, there is my good boy!
BabY: No..! Grandma.. look at him ..he is bossing over me..
Grandma: Shhh.. kiddoos.. I'll come and tell you story after I watch the Rajat uncle serial..
Baby: Grandma.. we want to watch Rajat uncle serial..
Babloo: Baby'kka , it is big people serial..we are not 'llowed to see it..
Baby: Grandma.. can we watch it today ?
G'ma: Okay okay.. you can watch it with me.. but after that you must go to bed..
Babloo: Will Rajat uncle come in the serial today?
G'am: Yes.. he will come..
Babloo: Is he the prince?
G'ma: No.. he is the King..
Babloo: Baby'kka.. Is the King bigger or the Prince?
Baby: You silly boy.. the prince is King's son..So the King will be bigger..
That is clever, Baby kutty.See, Babloo, she is putting you firmly in your place!😉
Babloo: Will the princess come on TV today?
G'ma: Yes.. she will come..
Babloo: Who is this princess? Is she the king's daughter?
G'ma: No.. she is the King's wife..
Baby: Grandma... you are wrong.. my teacher said that the King's wife is the Queen..
Quite right, my pet. One goal for you! Grandma just forgot about Nandini's elevation!😉
Babloo: How can a princess become a queen?
G'ma: She was a princess originally... but after she married King Chandra, she became the queen..
Babloo: Did she change her name?
G'ma: No.. she didn't change her name.. but she became queen automatically..
Akka,I see that my penchant for long words is catching!😆
Baby: Grandma.. Babloo won't understand what you say..
Babloo: I will understand.. after I ask Shyamala aunty for its meaning.. I'll call aunty...
G'ma: No.. you shouldn't disturb her kutty.. She will be watching TV..
Babloo kanna, you should have called the genie and come here to Pune in an instant, like winking, on the magic carpet. Then you could have watched the serial with me!
Baby: Can we watch Chandra serial with you?
G'ma: Okay..
( They watch the latest episode..)
Babloo: 'kka.. why is Chandra uncle talking to himself?
Baby: He is also crying...
Babloo: Baby'kka.. I don't like boys crying..
Baby: Why ? They can also cry..
Babloo: But that's because, Nandini'kka wanted him to cry..
No, no, Babloo kanna, be honest! He was crying even before she told him he could cry!
Baby: But she didn't ask him to talk when he was crying..
Babloo: May be he wants to say why he is crying..
Now that is exactly what it was, kids, but there was a major problem. He thought he was talking, whereas all he was doing was blubbering, and no one could make out what he was saying at all. Maybe he was copying the techniques of Marlon Brando and Dilip Kumar (ask Grandma who they were, would you?), but it was very hard on the viewers. On top of having to watch him blubbering in a most unsightly manner, they had to strain their ears to try and understand what he was babbling!😡
Baby: Grandma, did she ask him to talk and cry at the same time?
Babloo: Grandma..He is the King.. Why should he cry when the Queen asks him to cry?..
G'ma: That's because his acharyaji ordered him to obey the Chief queen...😆
Akka, no fibbing now! No, kutties, his Acharya - who is a champion MCP- did not tell him any such thing😉. And he did not cry because his queen told him to do so. He was already crying, and after she encouraged him, it only became worse!😆
