Cuddling Confucius

23 Oct

Little B, 2 years and 4 months old, with cheeks that threaten to fall off his face, is comfortably settled on my lap, a fairly routine location in his busy daily schedule. From this perch, he views his beloved ‘fissees’ on my computer, after which he will toddle off to his classroom to seek higher learning. Since his family is known to me, I usually ask after them:

OJ: How is Mamma?

Little B: Fine *cheek wobble*

OJ: How is Nani?

Little B: Fine *cheek wobble*

OJ: How is [the dog’s name]?

Little B: Fine *cheek wobble*

OJ: How is [uncle’s name]?

Little B: Not fine.

OJ: Why, what happened?

Little B: Mosquito bite

At which point OJ takes over the wobbling.

    And no, it’s not just my cheeks.

    Little B, whose wisdom does the mind boggle
    He with the cheeks that go wobble-wobble
    Give him a hug from all of us
    On those cheeks too, a buss
    Then let him get off your lap and away toddle.

    Nino’s Mum: My response exactly.

    Priti: 🙂

    Shail: It is, Shail, it is.

    Thinking Cramps: It’s become something of a joke with him now, with everyone asking after his bites.

    M4: Yup!

    Aunty G: Oh, I’m always chomping on those cheeks. They’re a meal in themselves.

    Pallavi: I always wonder whether I find my babies so funny and precious because they’re my babies or whether it’s because they really are.

    Sharanya: Fishies. 🙂 He likes watching the screensaver on my laptop.
