Sid's questions for the day. The growing years?

Ma, do people look cuter or uglier when they get older?

Ma, have you ever told a lie?

Ma, why do I have to go to school (notice the recurring theme here).

Mutterings...

Jay's been playing with a silver ring of mine - the closest he can get his hands on to the one ring in The Lord of The Rings movie (yes, he knows what that is).

He wanted to take it into the bath and I said "No, if it falls in the drain I'll make you go in and get it". After just a second he says "But....... how will I come out?" He apparently knows the trick to get into the drain, 5 inches wide.

He continues, in a muted voice though, "Then I can't come out. Then amma will say where is Jay? he's not coming out only.... such a cute baby..where did he gooooo...."?

Junk food etc.

We're in the car and Jay says "Amma, my cheeks are paining". Now this one's new to me.. To you too? I suppose. I never knew cheeks could hurt.

Me: Why Jay? Where is it paining? Inside or outside on the skin? (Am thinking mebbe it's a toothache from all the candy).

Jay: Outside.

Me: Are you sure? Because if you eat a lot of candy the inside will pain.

Jay: No amma, I diddunt eat anything junk yesssturday.

Etc. Small things he says that make me smile... in wonder!

"Amma, I be Ironman, you be raw machine" (that's war machine)

"No pobbem, amma. I play here only"

"Who fend is coming to us mane amma? Appa fend or u fend?" (fend=friend, mane=house)
