Vin: Yeah...

Once in India, my mom made "Bobbatlu" (sweet chapatis), Vin loved those.While I was putting him in bed, he asked me:
Vin: Mom! we need to ask ammamma (Grandma) this recipe. I need to learn how to make "bobbatlu and make it for my family.
Vin: You know, once I get married and have kids and all. They are awesome. I need to learn.
Me: Giggles. Ok Kanna. We will ask ammamma tomorrow for the recipe.
It is cute to hear such stories, but it concerns me of his planning. I don't even plan for tomorrow.

Hmm - if he's in the States he will have to wait until he is 21 before he can legally drink :-)
And Angel Face at five is really keen to have babies. Our litany goes: after you finish high school and you finish college and then you get your masters and complete your Ph.D. - THEN you can get married and then when you're 35 you can have babies, as many as you want.
So now her story goes like this:
"One day when I am big and old and 35 I will have lots of babies, no only two, a boy and a girl, but I don't like boys, so maybe I will have a boy and girl twins, and then I will have another girl....."
@Sivani: Cute! Err.. I forgot the limit was 21. These kids just can't wait to grow :)
This was hilarious!
Sequel: This morning she comes into our room. I'm in the dressing room getting ready for work, so she asks my husband: "Peddananna, can you help me pull up the zipper on my backpack?"
While he is helping her, she states: "I can't wait until I'm 35."
Taken aback, he asks: "Why?"
"So that my mommy can stay at home and look after my babies while I go to work."
