I can

I right now think I can do many things myself. My constant plead "nAn panren" (I will do) does not have any impact on my parents. They just think it is soo cute :( So I decided to demonstrate my capability.

 After so many trips to the restroom following pAdukA, I know what it is like to use the restroom. I ask my ammA to take me to the restroom to sit on the nice Dora potty seat, wait for five minutes, get down and pull a few sheets of tissue paper and throw it in the potty and flush. Isn't this a fine example of how I can do things by myself. Still not convinced?

ammA was lying down and was not sleeping, so I decided to help her sleep just like my parents do to me. I patted her a few times. It did not make any difference. I covered her with a blanket but she was still awake. Since these did not work, I used my own technique to fall asleep. I forced my thumb into her mouth to help her sleep. It works for me but ammA laughed and washed my hands! I had the right idea but my subject was not compliant. Oh well.... do you know about my diagnostic capability?

Once I got hurt banging my head against the wall while running. I started crying and everyone gathered to console me. I had to think of what I needed even when I was in pain. Crying I called for "iishh, iiish" (ice...ice..). Then it dawned on everyone to get me some ice. I know from observing appA and thAthA that ice and "pacchai marundhu" (green medicine) cures almost everything. So, I prescribe either of these when someone is no feeling well.

And so I think Machuya (Madhura) can !
