You are beautiful, Amma!
A couple of weeks ago, Nandu and I were playing, and out of the blue (with absolutely no prompting from me), she said, "You are beautiful, Amma". I was so thrilled hearing that from her as its been a while (ages, more appropriately) I heard that comment from some people. I wanted to take advantage of that opportunity, and educate Jana. So, I asked her to tell that to Daddy. She turned to Jana, and said, "You are beautiful, Daddy!". Hmph!

My Little English Teacher
I was brushing Nandu's teeth one day, and as usual she was fussy and didn’t want to do it. I was telling her how her teeth were going to be dirty, and… she stopped me there, and asked me to say "dirty" in an American accent. She said, "Amma, say 'dirty'", and said that in an American accent. Of course, I couldn't repeat it the way she said it, and I just continued talking.
Another incident - she asked me for something, I think water. She asked me, "Amma, can you give me some water?". I said, "Ok". She says, "Amma, say Sure!, not ok".
This was back in February, she is not even 3 yeas old, and she is already correcting me. Wonder where all her English knowledge goes when she says:
1) "Amma, I waked up".
2) Gotfor for forgot – "Amma, I gotfor my toy at daycare"; "I gotfor to drink my juice"
3) Words starting with s - she puts the 's' at the end of the word – "tars"; "piders";
4) "Amma, My leggo broked"; " You broked my spoon".
5) Or, when she used to say for Thanks, "Thanku Welcome".
6) "Strawl" for straw – "Amma, I want an orange strawl for my orange cup"
7) "Daddy, I want ethukulu", when she wants to be picked up.
8) "Its mines" for mine.

My Daddy is a Cowboy!
Last weekend, Jana and Nandu were in the garage, Jana inflating her pool and Nandu just playing around. Thank god for summer, I can have them both out of the house (and out of my way) all the time. Out of the blue, Nandu said, "Daddy, you are a cowboy!". Jana was very flattered, and responded very enthusiastically, "Howdy Partner!". Nandu, very innocently, asked, "Can you say Moo, Daddy?". Did she think a Cowboy was a boy Cow? :)
