Wisdom of the Mommy

“Jey baby ra tader ma’r kotha shoney na tader paye toothpick photey.”
[Those babies who don’t listen to their mommies get poked in the feet by toothpicks.]
-----
“Slaves are people who work all the time and get no toys.”
-----
Daddy: Do you have any other wisdom to share?
Mommy: Wisdom omni gachhey pholey na ki? [Does wisdom grow on trees?] It comes out at the appropriate time.

"No matter how much perfume you put it’s not going to cover your farts."

Colorful Religions

May 4, 2006

We were reading a book and were at a page which showed a map of the world colored according to the religion followed by the majority in the region.

Daddy: Christianity is the only religion whose God does not have a name.
Po: What religion am I?
Daddy: You can follow any religion you want.
Po: My God doesn’t have a name. I must be green [Christianity was coded green]. What color are you and mommy?
Daddy: Daddy and Mommy are yellow [Hinduism was coded yellow]. But mommy became green when her car got stuck on the bridge.
Po: How did she become green?
Daddy: Well a green man came and helped her get off the bridge and told her that Christ saved her or will save her or something like that, so mommy became green.
Po: Mommy and Powie are green and daddy is yellow.

Tickled Big Time

April 8, 2006

The movie "Anushandhan" is playing in the background and Amjad Khan's character is molesting a blind Rakhi's character

Po: Why is she shouting "bachao, bachao?"
Daddy: That means "save me, save me."
Po: But why is she shouting "bachao, bachao?"
Mommy: Because otherwise she's going to get tickled big time.
Po: But why is he tickling her?

(just then Amitabh Bachchan's character saves the day and the conversation moved on)
