Chappal Pahano Nahin!
Baby Name: Parent's Name: Usha Pavan
When we were in the US, my two year old son used to play with a Hindi speaking neighbour. We are Telugu people and he picked up a few hindi words like Chappal pahano, ghumne chale, thak gaye ho??, etc etc. from his hindi speaking aunty. Once he wanted to say remove the chappals to her and didn't know what to say. So, he finally told Chappal pahano nahin!!!
Knock on the Door
Baby Name: Anjali Parent's Name: Nita Vaswani
One day, as I was feeding my two month old daughter, my servant walked into the room without knocking on the door. Needless to say, we did not take the matter lightly, and he was fired. When we were hiring a new servant, Nitin, my 6 year old, piped up, “Mummy, tell him not to walk into your room when you are feeding Anjali.”
A Prayer for the Hungry
Baby Name: Parent's Name: Cassandra
My sister-in-law was teaching her 2 year old son to recite ‘The Prayer to the Lord.’ He started with,
“My father, who art in heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done
On earth as it is in heaven
(so far, so good)
Give us this day, our daily biscuit (oops)
So she asked him to repeat the last line. He said, ‘Give us this day our daily bread-stick’
(oops, again!)
It was only after she had fed him, that he managed to get it right!
God on a Mouse

She told him it represented his vehicle. He exclaimed " Funny God, here a big Elephant rides upon a little mouse "
