Chapter 2 : Jaggery

Yesterday morning I and Amy were busy keeping all the items we brought from SPAR hypermarket day before. She was taking all the items out of the carry bag and handing over to me and I was putting it in their respective jars. And for each Item she will ask what is inside the packet and I will tell her what it is.

Finally she took the jaggery packet and she asked me what it is .I told her “Sharkara” (Malayalam word for Jaggery).And a sudden smile appeared on her face.  J

Like mom, like child, as we both like sweets very much…..

I understood why she is smiling. I always give her a small piece whenever I open Jaggery jar.

Now she is waiting for me to open the packet and give her some Jaggery, She kept rest of the items in carry bag itself and stopped doing her part of job. (Taking all the items out of the carry bag and handing over to me)J

So I took the Jaggery Jar from the shelf and opened the packet. Since the Cubes are big enough, I have bought only two cubes. She took one cube out of the packet and asking me to cut and give her.

I cut a small piece out of it and gave it to her. She had it in “seconds” and stretching her little hand for more.. :D

I told her   ..”No Amy,you are not supposed to have more Jaggery”

She : “Amma,Please Amma,give me some more in a Plate”

I was surprised.I used to give her snacks in Plate.

I : “Whatttt….you want Jaggery in a plate”????.

She : “Yes Amma..Please…”

I : “Ammu,this is not a snacks to have in plate. I can’t give Jaggery in plate “

She got angry and started crying.

And I was wondering how I can make her understand that Jaggery is not a snacks to have in plate.. J

Chapter 1 : Amy's First Experience with Egg

Hi every one..

Myself Samanta...I like to introduce myself as Amy's Mom. J

I like to share small small incidence happened (happening) in our little family..

Thought will start with an incident happened yesterday.. J

Before we start, let me tell you few words about my family.

We are basically a Malayalee family settled in Chennai. Myself and Husband are IT professionals and our Kid (that is our heroine) is 2.5 year old little charm.

And she is a student of Play school (day care) near our IT Park.

Hmm.. I think this intro will do for now. We will learn about her more going forward.. J

 What happened yesterday is, after office we all went to Mall to buy necessary groceries and we reached home by 8 PM only

By that time my husband was so hungry that, I have to rush to kitten to make Dosa for him and Amy. So I left all the things we brought in carry bags itself @ Hall.

While I was making Dosa, My Hus and Amy were sitting in Bedroom, playing..

After few minutes..I can hear Amy @ Hall, taking something out of the Carry bag. Then I rush to hall to find Amy sitting with Eggs: O  

By the time, One Egg is on the floor, rolling, Another Egg is in her hand and rest four is in egg tray on her lap..

I screamed my Hus and he ran and came..

WE asked her to give the Egg to me,She told me : “No Amma..I will keep Egg in Fridge”

I said : “ok…But you are Small, You will not be able place it ..Please hand it to me…I will keep.”
She Said : “No…”

I and husband were looking each other and thinking what to do..

We cant tell her not to throw or press egg…If we tell her not to do, it will be the thing she will be doing first.

We can’t snatch it from her also. If we try to snatch, she will definitely throw it..

For few seconds we were standing looking @ Amy helplessly

After few minutes of silly talks, she agreed that she will give it to me.

But she have to take each egg one by one and give it to me and I have to keep it in fridge one by one.

I agreed.

Each time she take an egg and hand it to me I and my hus were praying that she won’t drop it or press it. Finally all eggs are handled safely and Amy had a Bread omelet today morning ..:).

Note: This is the very first blog of mine. Sorry if I made the reading boring. Will try to improve my writing going forward. Please share your comments
