Dudu's corner

3 year olds can be talkative.

I have a niece, Dudu. She is also 3 years old. And man! She is talkative! Quite humorous too. Have a few classic quotes from her. Sharing a few random ones, I remember.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You are walking in a forest. A monkey steals your stuff. You have a banana with you. What will you give the monkey to get your things back?
Dudu: "Manda meley randu kottu".

(Rough translation: "2 tight smacks on its head!")

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Ini engittey school'kku poka sonnein, ingey nadakarathey verey! Naan Karthikeyan koodey odi poyiduvein."

(Rough translation: "If you ever ask me to go to school again, I will elope with Karthikeyan.")

Karthikeyan happens to be her classmate, another 3 year old boy.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dudu to her cousin sister Nandu, who blew Dudu's birthday candle "Nee cotton pants pottirukkein, naan thaan pattu paavadai kattiyirukeein. Athanalley naan than candle oothanum"

(Rough translation: "I'm wearing the silk skirt. You are in cotton pants. So I think I should have blown the candles.")

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I want a RED maapillai" For those who dint understand that, please learn Tamil.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I getting up & banana is eating" (Overheard, as soon as she woke up from sleep. Looks like she was craving for bananas. The new school she joined, seems to encourage conversing in English!)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My friend Priya, was shocked hearing her 3 year old Tarunika, learning the names of months,

"January

February

Mortuary...!"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My cousin Gayathri was trying to teach a 3 yr old American kid her name.

"Gayathri, G for Gayathri".

The kid, "But I know only G for Gorilla!!"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thats all I can remember as of now. However, I am sure there will be loads more to come. Keep reading Dudu's corner! :)
