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 - !!!!??!!!
