Conversation - 2

Chiku: Mumma mumma, chalo
Chiku's words are falling on deaf ears.
Chiku: Mumma chalo na ( she is literally screaming now)
I get up and quietly follow her into the kitchen (her favorite haunt). She goes on her toes points to few things kept on the kitchen platform.
Chiku: Mumma ye chahiye (pointing to a vessel)
Me: (pointing to the same vessel)
Chiku: no Mumma, Ye chahiye (pointing to another vessel)
Me: (pointing to the same vessel as chiku is pointing to)
Chiku: zam chapati chahiye
Me: (perplexed, trying to think of what Chiku is saying) ohhhhhhh you want Jam and Chappati.
