Guilty conscious

To drink milk or not ? This is the BIG question that I have been thinking about for a while.

I have recently learnt that cow's baby (calf) drinks its mother's milk. Milk is it's only food! But we drink cow's milk. I am confused. Then what will the calf have?

Should we stop drinking milk? But my teacher has told me that milk is good for my health. I like curd, cheese and butter more than milk. So, I told ammA that I will not have milk but just have curd, cheese and butter. ammA tells me that curd, cheese and butter come from milk. Really!

We are using all the milk. The calves are all hungry. Why is no one doing anything to help them? I think we should share our food with the calves since they are sharing theirs with us. I suggested to ammA that she should make more saadam (rice) and kaai (vegetable) everyday for the calves.

We eat saadam (rice) and kaai (vegetables) everyday but also drink milk  to stay healthy.

So, here is my plan - "Buy a lot of milk from shops and feed it to the calves"

Now that sounds fair :)

Atlast you understand

Our toy room was a mess. Crayons, clothes, and cards from a game strewn all over the place.

ammA (for the nth time) - pAdukA and madhurA, please room-a clean pannungo (pAdukA and madhurA please clean the room)
pAdukA - avalaiyum panna sollu (ask her (madhurA) to clean up)
madhurA - nAn idhu laam edukalai ( I did not take these things out)
pAdukA - poi sollara ma (she is lying)

The argument continues with a lot of accusation and screaming! No cleaning up was done. The room continues to be the same mess. After about 20 minutes...

ammA - clean pannalai yA innum? (Has this not been cleaned yet?)
ethanai vaatti sollanum (how many times should I tell?)
nAn kitchen velai yai mudikarthukku kulla clean pannanum (You should clean this up before I finish my kitchen work)

After a while.... Seeing nothing has changed in the room

ammA (frustrated) - onga rendu perkitta katthardhukku badhulA nAn clean pannittu poirkalAm eppovo ( Instead of shouting at you two, I should have cleaned it long back)
madhurA - good job ammA
ammA (furious) - nAn nannA clean panna "good job" sollarayA? (Are you saying "good job for cleaning this room well?")
madhurA - no ma. nee ippo dhaan purinjintta.(now you have understood)
ammA - enna (what?)
madhurA - enga kitta katthardhukku badhilA neeya velai pannidalaam. adhu dhaan easy (Instead of shouting at us, you are better off doing the job yourself. It is easy)
ammA - !!!!??!!!
