Lost in Translation 1
Author: utbt31 Dec 2009
The few mainstream movies Chula and Mieja have seen are Dasavatharam, Sound of music, Lion King, Hornton hears a who and Finding Nemo. Only Sound of music has earned the children’s approval. Chula, of all people cries and screams that she is scared.
Me: (Before bed time, I was pointing to a DVD R and I were planning on watching)These movies(regular Hindi/Tamil/English) are only for adults. It might be scary for you. So we watch it after you and your sister go to bed.
Lost in translation: Chula goes to school and tells her teachers, “My mom and my dad put my sister and me in bed and watch adult only movies.”
Silver lining, as some one pointed out, at least it wasn’t, “we all watch adult only movies as a family.”
With this humorous note, adieu 2009 and welcome 2010.

LOL! And then there are so many LIT dialects we would never get to know.
Sent some pix your way 🙂
UTBT SAYS: So true DDMom and checked out the pics already!
@Kowsalya, @Hema: Last day of school,I happened to mention that the goal for winter break is to watch a movie a day from beginning to end. The teachers nodded their heads very understandingly and politely asked if I am talking about my ‘adult only movies’. That is how I knew about the LIT bit and I was eye brows raised for a couple of seconds and then burst out laughing.
That is funny!!! Have fun …
What a clever alibi.
UTBT SAYS: Yes indeed;)
hahahaha. Priceless, Utbt!! 😀 I’d better stop reading your blog from office. But I’m just imagining the face of the teacher hahaha How did you find this out? 😀
UTBT SAYS: The teacher told me. She tentatively ran it through me to see my reaction. She was probably trying to gauge if I am sane enough to teach a bunch of preschoolers or have something wild going on in the side!
