A child, Mieja’s age is at home to play.
Act I
Mieja to the child: See, see. See how beautifully my mother has arranged the house. She has the brown couch here and black bench there. There is also the daybed, so that we can sit and look at the pictures. She works hard to keep the house this way. It is sooo beautiful-na?!
Act II
The visiting child is conducting a drawing contest for which Chula and Mieja are supposed to draw two pictures each.
V.Child to Mieja: Hey, what are you drawing yaar? Your party picture does not look like party at all. Give me it, I will draw and you can color.
Mieja: No. This is my picture. This is how I want it.
V.Child: Okay then. I will not give you prize for this. I don’t like it.
Mieja: Its okay. I am drawing for myself. Not for prize. This is how I want it.
V.Child: Then your mother will be angry with you for not getting prize. She will scold you.
Mieja: Nooo. My mother will not. She says you have to do what makes you happy and do it the best. She will not scold me or do ‘katti’ with me for not getting prize. Yeah, my mother knows everything-re. She is older than you. Do you know how old she is? Vvverrry old. She is 34. See, I told you she is old and knows everything?!
Looks like I can retire. I have imparted wisdom, knowledge, values, thankfulness, appreciation and of course, I am old. The decision is further confirmed by the song the three children are singing and eating dinner.
Act III
Dum maro dummmmm
Pizza bubblegummmmm
Put it on your bummmmm
So long folks, have a good one.

UTBT SAYS: Siringa-ma, siringa. Nalla kai thatti siringa.
“my mother knows everything-re”
all hail!
UTBT SAYS: Awesome hi-5 to me!!!
how cute 🙂 Good life lessons she has absorbed UTBT. Now sit back and enjoy the ride 😉
UTBT SAYS: I have to sit back, may be lie down. I am old remember?!
Holding my hips and rolling on the floor! The poetry (!) is excellent. The best part is the “verrrrry old” part:) Please plan a trip man…very eager to meet C&M (and of course their aged parents…what a riot!).
UTBT SAYS: You want to meet them or enjoy their cutness? They are two separate things, they don’t mix.
LMAO!!!! How cute can they get.. If it means getting called old.. so be it. I’m ready to get called a lot worse if my kid said the things ur kids said 😉
UTBT SAYS: I have this odd feeling that there is a good chance of me being called much worse!
We oldies can retire UTBT … how often are you reminded of your age ?? Its atleast 3 times a week in these parts 🙂
UTBT SAYS: Lucky you! Only thrice a week?! The girls call my chithi as chithi. Few months back they figured out that ‘Chithi’ is mother’s younger sister and are going around telling every one that my chithi is my younger sister and the damn woman looks the part.
totally in splits. words of wisdom from Meija. chance a illa. how could you not laugh when they sang that song, or were u given them the glares 😉
UTBT SAYS: I was making rotis in the kitchen and burst out laughing. The 10,000th time did get on my nerves I must admit 🙂
I admire you ..for imparting the wisdom of being thankful …and your kids for being thankful even without being asked at such a young age! and the real happiness part …indescribable I say!
Congratulations! 🙂
UTBT SAYS: 🙂 Hopefully they will carry it through for the rest of their lives.
hahahahaha! Sweetheart na 🙂 LOL on my mother is verrry old 🙂
UTBT SAYS: 🙂
Oh, I so loved the innocence and showing off the house by Meija and they have so absorbed the gyaan you impart to them…adorable ! These are the priceless moments where you can sit back and pat yourself 🙂
UTBT SAYS: 🙂 The school( both their present and previous one) helps in a BIG way, esp when it comes to race, 1st, prize and things like that. They get the same message from both their environments and it definitely helps.
Adorable! And in reply to CA – my age is mentioned at least a dozen times PER DAY! Ashu has this uncanny ability to spot 33 wherever she goes. parking lot num, math home work, house nos, ads, car nos, shops,.. and yells “look amma! 33! your age!” loud enough for everyone in the 5 km radius can hear!!!
UTBT SAYS: LOL!
Woman, take a bow!
Am marking hyd trip as top priority in my list… Hv to meet these girls of yours…
UTBT SAYS: Bow taken. No guarantees that the kids will do anything remotely that will resembles normal children. I wash my hands off right now.

UTBT SAYS: Thanks HS.
LOL!
