My Child & I

Playing a game of "what does not belong in a group/list"

Mom: "mango, apple, orange, peas"

Firstborn:"Peas! It's a vegetable and others are fruits"

Mom: " Eyes, Ears, Nose, Feet"

Firstborn: "Eyes?!"

Mom: "How...?"

Firstborn: " Ice (eyes) is cold and all others are in my body"

Mom: "I meant eyes- kannu" (point at my eyes)

Firstborn: "kaathu, kannu, mookku and kaalu is so much easier in Tamil"

(We start over again)

Mom: "appa, amma, mathava, krishna" (me thinking, krishna - as he's a baby)

Firstborn: "Amma! As we're all boys, you're a girl and we're all tall, you're short"

Now that too is short-listed!
