Conversation with a K1 Kid

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

While having dinner:

Me: Achu, eat your food

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:

Achu : Appa, am sorry appa

Me : Why are you sorry for ?

Achu : Yesterday, I fight with you

Me : Sweet boy, that’s ok

Achu : Appa, I love you appa

Me : I too love you

Achu : Appa are you angry ?

Me : No, why ?

Achu : Can you switch on the XBOX please

Me : Nalla varuvaa da… nalla arasiyal vaathiya varuva (Politician in making)

 

In Play ground:

Achu for the first time, introduced me to his same-age friends

Achu : Hey .. this is my father

Achu friends : (looking at me) Hii father

Me : Eh…#$#$@ (nallavela itha unga ammavum, enn pondaatiyum paakala)
