Woodcutter Story - Moral by Mishti

So just a few hours before Mishti's 5th birthday...

Mishti - Papa I know the Woodcutter story properly now... can i tell?

Papa- Yes Betu

Mishti - There was a Woodcutter. His iron axe fall down in river.... fairy came out and gave silver axe...then golden axe... wood cutter said 'No' to all... fairy was happy and gave all three...

Papa- hmm....hmm...hmmm...hmmmmm

Mishti - Then wood cutter's brother went and threw his iron axe in river.... Fairy came out with golden axe..... Brother said 'yes' to it. .... Fairy got angry and did not give any axe.

Papa - hmmm ....hmmm....hmmmm

Mishti - Moral of the story is ... " YOU SHOULD NOT BE SO HAPPY WHEN YOU SEE GOLD"

Papa-  Bete tu ye moral saari auntiyo ko zarur samjhaana :D

Mamma - ^﹏^

Goosebumps!!!

I am over the phone with a friend. Mishti took bath and came out.

Mishti - Mamma what is this on my hand

Me(still on the phone) - Goosebumps...

Mishti - Goosebumps????? Goosebumps are which bums??

Me- (to my friend on the phone) I'll call you later haan.... ^﹏^ ^﹏^ ^﹏^

Mishti's first story!

Mishti is a great story teller. You ask her what she dreamt of yesterday and she will have an hour long story to tell. You give her a plot and the story might not end for days :D
She has been telling me a lot of stories. I have recorded a few too. But this time she asked me to write down her story. And here it goes...
SIdhIkshA

The Greedy Boy
Once there was a boy who didn't want to go to school.
He went to the dessert. In the dessert only horses and camels and only kids and people.
Then he found a book and perfume bottle and a nice magic boat and he told to the magic boat that I want so many toys and live happily. Then the boy was very happy.
That time he made a camel sound and camel's food came out from that magic boat. That time the kid was feeding the camels, he got bored and some aliens took him home.

The End!!

:D

Papa's Bangla classes by Mishti

In our recent visit to chandrapur, Mishti got quite mellifluent in Bangla. Until she got her pronunciations right, Maa, I, Boudi and her cousins Shona and Piku kept correcting her.
She hated being a student all the time and probably was in search of a student whom she can teach.

Her search ended when she found out that Adi did not speak in Bangla.

Initially she researched about why I and all the people in chandrapur speak in Bangla and why her Papa and Daduji - Dadiji don't (of course by asking almost a hundred questions to me). 

Once she confirmed that her Papa doesn't know Bangla, she started with Bangla lessons every night for Adi :D

And one day...while giving Bangla lessons to Adi

Mishti- (almost frustrated) Mamma... what do you call 'Papa' in Bangla?????

Me- "Baba"....why ...what happened?

Mishti- Then why does Papa says 'BLACK SHIP', every time I call him 'Baba'.... grrrrrrr 😡😡😡

Papa's afternoon play!!

Usual afternoons of Mishti with Mamma...

Me: Mishti soja beta.... go to sleep and let me sleep too

Mishti : No Mamma... you said you will play after I come back from school. Now you become Jiaan and I will become Nobita...

Me: God!!!! When will I be able to sleep :(

On a holiday... Mishti's afternoon with Papa....

Mishti: Papa you have to play with me now....don't sleep!!!

Papa: Okay! Let's play a game...

Mishti : (excited) Which game Papa??

Papa: The game is about sleeping... the one who will sleep more will win...

Mishti: Okay ..... (goes to sleep) ^﹏^

Me : What the.....

मिष्टी की cavity....

मिष्टी अब बड़ी हो रही है। हर बात का तर्क मांगती है और हर बात पर तर्क देना भी जानती है।
उसके स्कूल के पास ही एक दूकान है - मुरुगन स्टोर्स। स्कूल से वापस घर लाते वक़्त कई बार मैं उसे वहां से उसके पसंद की चीज़ दिला देती हूँ। कभी टॉफियां, कभी लॉलीपॉप तो कभी आइसक्रीम। जिस दिन आइसक्रीम लेती है उस दिन मैं भी उसके साथ बच्ची बनकर एक चोकोबार खा ही लेती हूँ।

कुछ महीने पहले मिष्टी के एक दांत में कैविटी दिखी तो अब मैं थोड़ी सतर्क हो गयी हूँ। टॉफ़ी, आइसक्रीम का सिलसिला तो चला ही हुआ है पर खाने के बाद ब्रश करके दांत दिखाना अनिवार्य नियम बन गया है। और क्योंकि घर के नियम सभी पे लागू होने चाहिए तो ये नियम मुझपर भी लागू है।

इसी तरह एक दिन आइसक्रीम खाकर ब्रश करने के बाद मिष्टी ने मेरे दांत चेक किये तो उसे पता चला की ये जो मम्मा मेरी एक कैविटी के पीछे पड़ी रहती है, उनकी खुद्की इतनी cavities की फिलिंग हो रखी है।
बस अब मिष्टी जी को उनकी एक cavity के लिए टोको तो वो मेरी ढेरों cavities याद दिला देती है :(

खैर अपनी गलती पे पर्दा डालने के लिए दूसरे की गलती का इस्तेमाल करना भी एक कला है ;)
बात तो थोड़ी टेडी है पर इससे मुझे कही न कही ये भरोसा हो जाता है की कुछ और बने न बने मिष्टी एक दिन हमारे देश की एक कुशल विदेश मंत्री तो बन ही सकती है।
