… while driving the Brat and the Bean around on a hot summer afternoon
[While passing Palika Bazaar] -Bean : “Oh look – this is where the Teletubbies’ live!
[While driving past NGMA and a good 100 mtrs away from Kota House]- Bean: “Watch out Dada – don’t bang into that little building” (Err.. NGMA, little?)
[As the sun sets] – Brat: Do you know why the moon doesn’t come out in the day? Because a hawk might mistake it for a piece of cheese and eat it up. (A scientist this one might not be)
MM to Bean – My darling baby. Do you know how cute you are? Bean nods and replies confidently, “Yes, three much.”
MM to Bean – You know, cutting your nails is a pain. I can’t wait for you to grow up and take over that chore. Bean – “I can’t grow up. You only said I have to stay small forever because I am your last baby.”
Also, a lesson learnt. Nicknames are taken seriously around here. Bean and Brat introducing themselves to a visitor – I am Thing One and she is Thing Two.
*groan* – I really should remember to stop calling them just about anything I feel like.
The Mad Momma 
Absolutely adorable! Is’nt it sad when they grow up?
ROFL!
The point about nick names…. so true .. anytime Junior is asked her name… she lists all her nick names (depending on the person asking and her mood) …
Yess, apparently I did that too when I was a kid! But, MM, Thing One and Thing Two?? ROFL!
(And please please please don’t let the Bean grow up!)
what? they are things only no? 😀
Awwww. Please dont let them grow up, ever. Who will say all these wonderfully adorable things then? 😦
lol:)
Ha ha! They r adorable 🙂
They are really a million much:)
I repeat – The Bean is a DIVA. so adorable 🙂
The Brat is so cutely emotional and kind-hearted.
ROFL @ thing one and thing two
The sweetness of your kids and my utter lack of exercise is the main cause for my diabetes.
So then that makes you the Cat in the Hat?!
And I think the Brat could be a scientist…so original, that one is!
🙂 LOL .. no nicknames at our home.. How boring na?
Too cute…why dont u pickle them and keep them small only!
How cute are they!!! This must be a really great stage…when they are less trouble than when they were helpless babies, but also more fun because they can talk
Aww…how cute 🙂 Thing 1 and 2 was the funniest! Happy Diwali to you and your family MM.
Adorable all the way 🙂
They are super adorable! 😀
Thing One and Thing Two – Cat In The Hat??!
ROFL !!! I can’t grow up i am your last baby…awwwwwwwww…
BTW, Wishing you and your family a very happy and joyous Diwali.
off to Miaka like last year for the festival ?????
MM,
The brat will definitely be a scientist. 🙂
Thing 2 is such a confident girl. Love her tongue in cheek remarks.
Hugs to both of them.
Thing one and Thing two makes perfect sense! That’s what I called mine when they were babies…and even now, makes for easier hollering, especially in public, when I don’t want to yell their names 🙂 🙂
As for Brat, give him a break – the kid makes *one* fanciful statement and you’re condemning him? 🙂 🙂
M (waiting for rotten tomatoes…or laddoos :))
the good old days i guess. the days of the childhood beautiful..
had to laugh at most of the answer such innocense wonder where it goes when we grow up ..
Bikram’s
Can I keep your kids? I have one in my tummy right now and I keep wishing he/she would turn out like the bean 🙂
You are? congratulations. That is lovely news. Here’s wishing you a happy Diwali and a beautiful year ahead. Full of gurgles and smiles.
🙂
i know i’ve said this before…i’m gonna keep saying it..those kids should charge for u the entertainment n smiles they bring on all our faces.
u owe them one..and mabbe we owe you one 🙂
you mean girl, you call them that? (i called her Icabod for the longest time, so i should be one to judge..:-))
‘can’t grow up’ – could not make up my mind whether to feel happy or sad, finally decided to GRIN!
Bean – “I can’t grow up. You only said I have to stay small forever because I am your last baby.”
How cute is that Mad Momma! Thats what I say to my brat too.. cant imagine how much is changing as I see him grow up some more every day..
My bachchas. Love and kisses.
