Recently I had been to temple with Siya. There we were offered an apple as prasad ( symbol of blessings from deity). On seeing the apple, Siya got excited.
Recently I had been to temple with Siya. There we were offered an apple as prasad ( symbol of blessings from deity). On seeing the apple, Siya got excited.
Siya (bright eyed and raised eyebrows ):," O Mommy, Look! Eets an Apool ".
Me: "Yes darling, its an apple. good job." I responded.
A by stander was listening to our conversation and I caught him looking and smiling. He tried making conversation with Siya.
The Man to Siya (smiling) : Hi Can I have your apple?
(Siya first shied away and buried her face in my shawl. Then slowly peeped out of it )
Siya ( to the man,smiling) : ....Eets an Apool.
The man (encouraged by Siya's response, smiles back and continues) : Yes, right, its an Apooooooll... Can I have it?
Siya (steping out of my shawl, giggling, holds her apple infront of the man): Apool..... Eets an Apool..
The Man: Can I have it? Can I have your Apoool? ... ( looks at me) She is too cute.
Me: Thanks.
Siya ( interrupting) : O.. LOok..eets an Apooooooool..
The Man (still hoping for an answer from siya): Yaaaay... we have an apoool.. Its an Apoool.... Can I have your Apool?
Siya..( jumping in excitement ) : Yaaay.. eets an Apool... Look.. an Apool...
This went on for 6 - 7 times. Probably more I guess.. However, I guess the 9th time.. conversation went like this:
Siya ( super excited, jumping and showing off her prized possesion) :..... Eets an Apool..Eets an Apoool (giggling)
The Man ( trying to hold a forced smile, looking straight at siya, says polietly yet firmly ): NO, IT'S A MANGO!!!!! ... ( and walks away, giving me a small goodbye nod )
ME: ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!! ... wondering if he will ever eat apples again, or will keep calling them Mangos for rest of his life.. haha
Love my little pumpkin. An APOOL LOVER...
