How often do we beam high on hearing cute comments? Recently,i did.
A distant relative had come home along with 2 kids,to invite for some function.I could hear the relative telling the elder kid,a 3 1/2 yrs old L.K.G boy,"indha aathula 1 akka irukkaa.ava kooda nee velayaadu"(There is a girl in this house,u play with her) my mom told the kid that the akka is a big one,whom he may not be interested to play with,but that the akka gels well with kids. :-D
Well,i agree with modesty that kids get close to me very easily. But considering i have not been a play-mate to any kid for the past few yrs,not even the "pinching-the-cheek of any baby" done during occasional parties in the recent past,I was a bit hesitant.
Now there were 2 kids.one,a cute lkg fellow(adithya),and a much more cuter 1 and a half yr old baby girl,sahana.quite obviously,i got attracted by the doll-like sahana,and started playing with her. Starting from "sahana kanume??(with my palms closing her face)...duchiiee!!(removing my palms) giving her tit-bits of biscuits,showing her the mirror(that's the best way to play with babies.I bet u they love it!),I did all sorts of things.It was so cute when she started looking out for me,as i had gone to another room.the smile that i saw on her face,after seeing me--heavenly!
I know it was quite wrong on our part to have ignored the elder brother(lkg..) He had this elder-child-syndrome,and started involving himself in the talk,or play.He wasn't lift-able ,and..come on my hands are quite fragile :-)
when they left,the relative said "akka ku flying kiss kudu",which the baby girl did promptly.enthused by that,her mom said "akka kannathai killi muthaa kudu", Oh boy! i felt wonderful when that baby pinched me with her fingers,and kissed the fingers.
Now comes our hero,the elder bro! he said even he wanted to do that to me.Iwas apprehensive about his pinch as he was a bit plump,but he di something very cute.After the same pinching and kissing,he said "nee chocolate maadhiri irukke"
Oh boy! Oh boy!! It felt so sweet,u know! when my dad asked why he said so,he replied "naan dhan pinch panni kiss panen la? ava chocolate maadhiri irukka" :)
Need i say why i was beaming? :-)
