June finally seems to have understood that we are in Hyderabad which is not Bangalore, Delhi, Mumbai or Kolkata. But she also has some strange associations in her mind.
Sorry folks the father is not to blame.
The three of us are in the car coming back from somewhere.
Me: June! Dont put your fingers in your mouth. You are a big girl now.
June doesnt respond and continues sucking her preferred fingers as she keeps brushing her eyebrows with the index finger of her other hand.
Me: June put your fingers down!!
June (taking out her fingers): Scout mukhe haat dei? (Does Scout put fingers in her mouth)
By the way my daughter has this Scout fixation which has increased of late. So all and everything starts and ends from there.
Me: No. Scout doesnt put her finger in her mouth.
June takes out her fingers out and is enjoying the song. But suddenly she asks her Mom.
June: Scout ekhon ghumocchey? (Is Scout sleeping now?)
Mun: Yes
June: Scout Bangalore ey?
Mun: Yes
June: Amra Bangalore pore jaabo? Train ey kore? (Shall we go to Bangalore later in a train?)
Mun: Yes, we will go.
June: Ghetu Scout er shonge ghumocchey? (Is Ghetu is sleeping with Scout now?)
Please forgive our daughter. She didnt mean a thing. Also please forgive me for writing about this. But this was so well timed by her. I wonder how she comes to these assumptions.
But we took care to point out that Scout and Ghetu stay and sleep in seperate houses which will be homes someday.
