Mummy & Mira - Part II

Mira is on one of her regular rounds of the living room when she encounters a piece of food lying on the floor. Of course, she promptly picks it up.

Mummy runs towards Mira and pulls her to the dustbin, insisting she drops the food there.

Mira resists.

“Mira, please drop it. Drop it in the Dustbin…. NOW!”.

Mummy holds Mira’s arm and shakes it a bit, trying to loosen her grip.

It doesn’t.

“Miraaaaaa” – Mummy goes back to her grown-ups-know-best voice.

“No Mumma” – Mira answers back obstinately.

“Mira, please drop it” – Mummy continues.

“Aunnnghhh” – Mira fights back.

“Drop it Mira” – Mummy refuses to budge.

Mira finally gives in - she opens her other hand and drops Mummy’s mobile into the dustbin.


**************

“What does Sheep say, Mira?”

“Baa”- she says instinctively as she stacks her cups in the descending order.

“What does Cow say, Mira?”

“Moo” - as she dismantles the same tower of cups.

“What does Dog say Mira?”

“Bhau Bhau” - as she gets up to hunt for something new to play with.

(Usually, the Q&A session ends here. But, Mummy is in a mood to experiment today – she asks an interesting question with absolutely zero hope of receiving an answer.)

What does Mummy say Mira?

Mira continues to walk for a while and then suddenly turns back.

She looks Mummy in the eye, moves her finger in the to and fro motion and says “NO NO!”

Hahaha..this girl is soo good!

I was reading it, at work, with a smile on my face and when I read her answer to what does Mummy say, I had such a laugh..loud enough for my colleague to look at me with an expression which was saying "Are you OK?" :P
