Amma (in some context): I was reading this, that and this other book last week..
GI: Athe (aunty), if you read at this pace, I'll be forced to set question papers to quiz you on what you are reading.
Me: Yeah! We should totally do that. She did that to us when we were kids.
Yeah, that's how I repay the mater and assuage my guilt of repaying my parents zilch!
And she gives you an absurd answer ... that would be how she will pay it back :)
ReplyDeleteand don't forget the tiny knock on the head or pinch in the thigh if you didn't get it for long :)
ReplyDeleteHey, you got them Scout :)
ReplyDeleteDont guilt yourself. Been there, doing that :-/
CA: LOL.
ReplyDeleteSands: In such situations my mom liked to say things like "Yeah, spend more time giggling with X. They are going to ask you about that in the exam tomorrow for sure". :)
TPL: Why are you siding up to the Scout? He isn't even in the picture here. :)
