Every time I decide that I simply must do a non-Puttachi post next, it just happens that some new gem drops out of Puttachi's mouth, compelling me to share it with you.
So Puttachi and I were having a conversation about who can cry and who cannot. I will not waste my breath explaining how we landed up with this topic. Conversations with toddlers can take the weirdest paths. Anyway, Puttachi was asking questions like "Can Puttachi cry? Can Amma cry? Can Papa cry?" and so on, and I was supposed to answer yes or no. Soon, she ran out of people, and her attention turned to things. The first thing she spotted was a pair of jeans.
Puttachi: (pointing to the jeans) Can this cry?
Me: What, jeans? No, jeans cannot cry.
Puttachi: Why can't jeans cry?
I paused for a moment, wondering in what words to explain the concepts of life and emotions to a two-year-old. But Puttachi solved my problem.
Puttachi: I know why jeans can't cry.
Me: Why?
Puttachi: Because it doesn't have a face!

Hehe..ofcourse, silly mom didn't you know that? ;)
And, please don't try too hard to do a non-Puttachi post.Bring 'em on anytime!
Think simple, that's the key :)
Kids and their unbeatable logic. Hehehe.
I think they lose this freshness once they go to school and get pressured to conform.
So please keep sharing Puttachi's gems with us.
A thing of beauty is a joy forever!
Thank god nobody has invented a condom for the keyboard!
Idea thanks to Khushwant Singh - He was asked "How are you so productive, even at 90?" He replied "Nobody has invented a condom for the pen"
Keep writing.. I have no problem if this ends up being puttachi's dairy (weblog?), even before she learnt to write.. :)
