Random comments from my 4 year old son
He was assigning characters to all of us from his story book–
he was the puppy, his mom was the squirrel and then he turned to me and asked “Achan
kozhiyaano?” [Loosely translated : He wanted to ask "And Dad, are you the
hen?" but colloquially it meant "Dad, are you a womanizer?"]
Some characters in an animated movie talks about all things
that go fast are made in Japan.
He liked this thought and connected everything that moves fast were made in Japan.
So he used to say ‘Acha, look at that bike, that’s a racing bike and that is
made in Japan’, ‘Acha look at that red car, that is moving very fast, That is
sure made in Japan”. So once we came across this man who was jogging wearing
his sweat-pants. He took a look at this person who ran past us and commented. “Acha, aa appoppane
Japanil undakiyatha” [Dad, that person is made in Japan]
He was staring for long at the calendar hanging on the wall
and suddenly exclaimed “Ho pathu mani
aayi, acha” [Oh, it’s ten o’clock,
dad!]
