Cross Talk

I want to walk holding the hand of an ice-cream.
But it will melt.
No I will hold its hand and eat it.

I want to fly
You just did too. When we went to San Francisco. Remember?
Not in an airplane. I want to fly like a bird with my wings.
{Your father is not allowed to hang-glide and neither will you be}

I want a diamond
When you get a wife
Turning Aie's hand over and looking at her diamond
Are you married?
Yes.
Is R-mama getting married?
Yes
Is R-Mama getting a diamond?
Yes
I want a wife.
{not so soon, dude}


I want a beer
Ajji (sipping her wine): Do you have a beard and a moustache? You can drink beer after you get a beard and a mustache.
You don’t have a beard and a mustache.

Throwing a tantrum
You are a big boy now. Big boys don’t throw tantrums.
Only big girls do?
{Where did that come from?}

I feel so sad.
Why?
Because you yelled at me.
I scolded you because you did a terrible thing.
I want you to say sorry to me. Say sorry to me because you yelled.
I will do no such thing
Yes, you will.
I won’t.
Say sorry.
