Ah! Kids these days!

September 7, 2008 in Humor, People, Ramblings by Narain | 18 comments

I’ve been inspired by Sudhamshu’s post to write about my experiences with kids.

Me, Aravind and Amirtha were at a women’s college during their culturals and we met a 7 year old school girl who was sitting next to us waiting for her dad top pick her up. (This particular college also has a school in its campus)

Me: Hi… Whats your name?

Kid: Yasmini

Me: Very Good.

Kid: You can talk to me now. But once my dad comes, dont talk to me.

Me: WTH!

Kid: Anna. Whats your name?

Me: Sathyanarain

Kid: Oh. Neenga Iyengar ah!

Me: WTF!

Kid: Yea. Neenga iyengar thaane?

Me (Still recovering from the shock) Jaathikal illayadi papa!

Kid: Poda peepa!

/* Update at 5.45 pm

Me(thinking): %#@$%&

Me: Which class are you in?

Kid: Third.

Amirtha: Yasmini! Do you know which class this anna is in?

Kid: Adhan padikkavela nu paartha le theridey!

update ends */

Me (Going into deeper shock) : How old are you?

Kid: 7

Me: Okay.

Kid: Onga age 21 thaane!

Aravind (To Amirtha): Hey! Bring water! Narain has passed out!

Lol! Yasmini has done what many bloggers wanted to do to you!!!!

Aravind a.k.a The Pseudonym

@ shilika No you are not a kiddo… NO way…

@sudamshu hmmmmm well I think the blogger syndicate outsourced that job

Yasmin is a smart kiddo. She took the toffee that Amirtha offered and I was wondering why a smart kid would do that?And bang the next moment the toffee goes to Narain. I was laughing at the way she was pulling narain’s leg and she walks up to me and asks “why do you just keep laughing?” Well Yasmin I was laughing at your jokes. Cheers Kid…

@ Dilip,
Camphor smell; how donkey know!

@ Sowmya,
You can call it magnetism.

The wikipedia article on Vadivelu says,”In most movies, Vadivelu plays a simpleton with good intentions but lands in trouble because of circumstances or eccentricities of the people he comes across.”

I can relate to that.

The only difference is I have evil intentions at times. Yea. Really evil!

@ Kadmabari,
Grrrr.
Naa unna aparom vachikaren.
// No double or triple meaning fellas. Its the straight meaning, which means,
I’ll deal with you later!
