My son (4 1/2 yrs) asks me lot of questions. I am listing a few which I remember.

1) whether corn is a fruit or vegetable?

2) whether flower is a boy or girl?

3) One day when I was rearranging photo album, he saw a photo in which I was pregnant, he asked me why my stomatch was big. Then I told him that he was in my stomatch. Then he was worried and he said 'Mom, Please don't swallow me again, I am a good boy now'.

4) One day while I was driving and was pregnant with my second baby, he asked me whether baby goes to POTTY in the stomatch? I didn't know the answer and had to ask my doctor.

5) When my due date was reaching (for my second pregnancy) my son said 'once the baby is big enough in the stomatch, just say Yaak... and baby will be out from mouth.

6) After the delivery my son was talking to me and said (with a surprising face) 'Still I don't understand how the doctor took the baby out with all these wires!!!.

7) One of his question on the way to the shopping was 'How the street lights will be ON all at once by evening'.
8) One day when my husband was driving the car, suddendly my son said 'SLOW DOWN BIG GUY'.

9) I noticed that suddendly my son started brushing his teeth night times, I didn't understand what's going on. After seeing this 4 days, I asked him who told him to brush teeth. Then with the brush in mouth my son said "Rolly Polly (Cartton N/W character) told to brush teeth once in the morning and once in the night".

10) After brushing the teeth at one night, with a great satisfaction, he said 'OH, WHAT A TEETH BRUSHING'.
 
 
 

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!!!

My two and a half year old son saw a Sikh with a turban for the first time in a shopping place and was so excited and started singing Sandese aathe hai. This is because he saw the movie border and he liked the song. From then onwards I couldn't stop my son singing that song when ever he sees a Sikh with a turban. It happened once in a lift in my husband's work place, and we both were expecting that this boy would sing the song seeing my husband's Sikh collegue in turban and were thinking how to face the situation. But luckily the boy sang the song in my ears in a low voice.
