My Child & I

Firstborn makes a face seeing the rotis for dinner.

Firstborn: "Why is the roti brown, I like them white (meaning, cream colored)"

Mom: "Its whole -grain flour, that's why its brown. And brown things are good for you"

Dad: (seconds Mom's statement) "Brown rice, brown bread, brown jaggery, honey..."

Firstborn: "I bet chocolate is then good for me, as it's brown too.
And Amma, can you not give me white things like milk anymore?"

Now mom & dad go red!
