Having learnt the living ways, the kids after 4 is growing
intellectually almost every day. Apparently, the one stop encyclopedias for
them are their parents. Being a typical IT dad, I always tried to strike a
conversation or drag a conversation to argument. It is no corporate meeting and
hence you would find the conversation is full of absurdity & weirdly crazy.
I tried and collected few interesting conversations that I had in past few
months with my 4+ year old son.
One evening at McD:
Achu (while eating chicken burger) : Appa, here you go, have
some burger
Me : No thanks, I don’t eat chicken burger
Achu : Because ?
Me : I don’t like killing chicken for food
Achu (after a deep thought) : But, no one killed chicken
here
Me : Ofcourse they did, how will you make a chicken burger without
killing one ?
Achu : See, they put this bap, pour mayonnaise, sauce,
vegetables and the chicken burger.. See, no chicken is killed here. Please eat
appa.
Me : @#$##$
Story telling game:
Before he went to sleep, I tried start a game where both has
to say a line of a story (creatively)
Me : Long ago, there was a lion chasing a deer and then … (I
signaled Achu to continue creatively)
Achu : The lion ran fast
Me : Ok, the lion ran fast and caught the deer and then…
Achu : The deer escaped
Me : (Achu next time you should say a longer one) The deer
ran further and met a cheethah and then…
Achu : The cheetah ran fast
Me : (with a oh-come-on expression) ok, the cheetah ran fast
and suddenly a helicopter came there and then…
Achu : The helicopter landed
Me : Ok sweet heart, please go to sleep.. .Appa really tired
(THE END)
After Hair cut:
Me : Achu, once we reach home, you gotto shower
Achu : No no.. well, ok but no head shower
Me : Why ?
Achu : My hair will grow again
Me : Why head shower will make your hair grow ?
Achu : Because, amma head showers plants every day and the
plants grows
Me : !@#$#
All on a sudden:
Me : Oh my god !!
Achu : Appa, its oh my goodness

Achu : Because …??
Me : Because, you need to be strong
Achu : Because…??
Me : Because, that will help you grow
Achu : Because…??
Me : Because (eh …??) never mind, eat later
On a Saturday evening:
