Questions with no answers

5:30 AM somewhere in Marathahalli: A bleary-eyed mom sets some milk on the stove to boil.

Sonny dear comes tripping in and as usual insists on sitting on the kitchen ledge to watch the proceedings. Too tired to get into the “No, you cant do that” scene early in the morning, mommy dear lets him.

The ever inquisitive kiddo starts with is questions:

Sonny: Amma, milk makes you strong right?

Amma: Yes, yes!! (Please god, let him drink his milk at least today without any fuss!!)

Sonny: And tea is bad for you?

Amma: Yes, very bad. If u want to grow big and strong, you’ve to drink your milk everyday.

Sonny: Then why is it that you and Accha drink tea every day instead of milk?

Amma: Go ask your Accha.

Accha: (Promptly diving under the quilt and pretending to be fast aleep) I heard that!!!!
