Grass for Dinner

I was making chaaru, and Nandu came over and asked me what I was doing. I said I was making dinner. She asked me to put her on the kitchen counter top, which is her favorite thing to do when I am making dinner (sit on the countertop so that she can see what I am doing and grill me on everything I am doing). I did that. I was chopping coriander at that time. She asked me if that was her dinner, I said, "Yes, and Amma's and Daddy's too". She laughed aloud. I asked her what was so funny, and she replied saying, "that's funny because you are making grass for dinner!" :)
