Mieja: “Amma just get me a Barbie and a carrot. No, no, many, many carrots. Okay?”
Background information.
Amma, at some point of time: Carrots are good for you. They make you healthy and intelligent.
Amma, at all points of time: Barbies tell little girls that ONLY beauty is important.
A frustrated Amma, at some point of time: Playing with Barbies will make you stupid.

Hahahaha! can’t beat her logic!
UTBT SAYS: Stuff of my nightmares Starry, this child is.
Awww! she has a lot of logic doesnt she 🙂
UTBT SAYS: Yes. Logic and determination this one has!
Agree to let her have the Barbie already. Come on! I will send it over.
UTBT SAYS: There are more Barbies in India than the rest of the world Put together! But my problem is not just the toy. Even when there is no Barbie at home, they pretend play house and mommy. But….it is the dynamics Barbie will bring in to the house….. With TWO, GIRLS, Only 18 mo apart, they feed off of each other. It will definitely become a self sustaining cycle that drives me up the wall. I can already see that with the Polly pockets they have and I am having enough of it. Thankfully Polly’s clothes are tearing from continuous use and seeing light at the end of the tunnel. Barbie ain’t happening in my house. It is something like ‘nattamai’ putting his ‘thundu’ on his shoulder. ‘Theerpai thiruppi ezhudha mudiyadhu’. (Translates to, ‘The judge has decided and the verdict cannot be changed.’)
This kids rocks with her logic. How old is she again? 🙂
UTBT SAYS: Five *gulp*
If you have some friends like I do (who went behind my back and asked Saankhya for her favourite toy and brought the you-know-who, no not Voldermort…I mean Barbie), then nattamai-yavadhu thundaavadhu! Can I send a few btw (not thundu…Barbies!) ?? 🙂
UTBT SAYS: I have friends, who did exactly the same. Not that they went behind my back, they were just trying to get what the child really wants. I had to explain to friends the predicament, they were all quite understanding….. a big loop, but did it nevertheless.
I promise to send lots of carrots also:)
Pawam kuzhandhai yengi poradhu… U r mean… Hmpf.. Let me think something creative.. Better yet ask mejia for the creative idea.
UTBT SAYS: Yeah, pavam, they don’t have A.N.Y thing and a Barbie doll will bring such joy and contentment. Just one more thing they will fight about and I would rather they do it over what they already have.
I have a copy of the same logical Mieja here… the way mine manipulates is going above my head :((
UTBT SAYS: We moms have to stick together I say! Otherwise we have no chance.
Too many mommy nazis!! Poor kids!
UTBT SAYS: That has been established already ain’t it 🙂
Like Monk says, ‘They will thank me later’
