Firstborn (announces excitedly): "Amma, some big class students are going Ooty"
Mom: " Really? That's very nice!"
Firstborn: "So, can we Ooty?"
Mom: "May be during summer holidays, let's ask Appa"
First Born: "But why wait till summer to Ooty, you ooty (Tamil: To spoon feed) the baby already, so you can start with me too"
Mom (Understanding) :"Well, the big students have gone to visit a place called Ooty, and are not being ooty food!"
Firstborn (to clear the air): " Oh, Yeah! I also was thinking why big boys & girls need help with food, hi hi!"
