Kids say the Darndest Things

Mrs.and Mr.Dhanashekar, in our apartment looked terribly worried! Tomorrow was their only daughter's maiden interview. This interview would decide her destiny! This interview will pave way for her future. Yes, it is the time of the year for LKG admissions! They have applied for a few schools in the neighborhood, and are in the nail-biting phase - waiting for interview cards. The couple are in hypertension and the kid is very kiddish!

It is a daily routine of this couple to revise alphabets, numbers, shapes, colors, animals, names, what not! and prepare the toddler for the interview. The kid is totally oblivious to the importance, but is enjoying all the attention and sometimes gets irritated when her mom scolds her for not identifying septagon?!!

On the D-Day, the toddler left home proud, with the entire apartment complex wishing her the best. Her parents are giving last minute tips

Dad : Dhairyama paesanum seriya?
Mom : Nee seriya sollita, amma narya toys vaangi tharen
Dad : Kutty chamathu aache! Azhave koodadhu
Mom : Avanga edhu kaetaalum theriadhu nu solladhe da chellam.
Dad : yosichu badhil sollu, mudinja udane ice-cream saapida polaam..

Junior Dhanashekar shook her head and was enjoying this!
After a couple of hours, they came back, parents looking a little grim, and the junior licking an icecream . The interview went okkkay...and an excerpt from that:

Interviewer : (showing a red color paper) Idhu enna color?
Toddler : Apple color
Interviewer thinks, may be it's because I am showing it in a paper..points a red color chair and repeats 'Idhu enna color?'
Toddler : Apple color
Interviewer : seri, apple enna color?
Toddler : Indha chair color
Interviewer : !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Idhu, karagaatakaran, vaazhaipazha joke madhiri irundhaalum, Junior Dhanashekar got her admission! and according to me, she has got the wisdom of a management graduate! Never say 'I don't know'!!
