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.

Conversation

Me: Chiku, now we will go and have nownow (childish way of saying bath)
Chiku: mummy, showert showert
Me: Yes Chiku, Shower
Chiku: Yeeee, Wooooooowwwwwwwww shower
With an awe she enters the bathroom, and one look at the shower, she gets excited.
Soon after the bathing session, I have chosen a white dress for her.
Me: Chiku, look new dress (its not really new, but chikus prefers to call all her dresses as New)
Chiku: White frock, no mumma
Me: But this is a new dress no chiku, and u like it ?
Chiku: (very firmly, pushing the dress away from her) Ye frock nahi pehena hai (I do not want to wear this dress)
