My boy is a bit over five.
The other day, in the car, he asked me to play his favourite ‘dolphin’ song. Now, this Tamil song from ‘Boys’ goes ‘Enakkoru girlfriend vaeNuma-da’ translating to ‘I want a girlfriend’. Smug in the belief that he’d misheard it as dolphin, I slid in the CD silently.
A friend of my daughter was in the car as well. Hearing the opening of the song, she corrected him with
‘It’s girlfriend, not dolphin’!
And he whispered back urgently
‘Shhhh! I know, be quiet or I’ll get into trouble!’
Barely five, and already street smart.
Chip off the old block eh
Good one!
Hmm… I need to reassess my assumptions with my kid!
hehehe quite a rockstar!
Somehow i missed the point. Probably lost in translation
Anyway … nice blog to visit.
