Getting Big

At least twice a week I struggle feeding A and 3 times a day feeding Gudiya. Gudiya is very stubborn but A is the one whom I can distract, yell or scare and he eats his meal. Those times I tell him

Eat your food otherwise you won’t get big. Gudiya will get bigger and you will stay like this.
If I finish my food I will get big?
Yes
Like Pappa?
Yes
Like You?
Yes
Like Nani Bhua & Nanu?
Yes
Very big?
Yes
Very very big?
Yes
Very very very big?
Yes
Like Rakshash?
Umm NO.
Like you & Pappa?
Yes
Mamma I don’t want to eat too much and get big like Rakshash. I don’t like rakshash..
But If you eat, you will be big enough to scare them away...

And this is the conversation we have on every food strike day:-) and it works every time:-)

**************

There are days when I think about going on a diet and I feel so good for 2-3 hrs until I think of food or the next meal, whatever comes first;-) Then for a day I weigh myself after every meal;-) A is aware of my this routine;-) Once he saw some diet ad on tv and asked

Mamma what are they saying?
They are saying if you do “this” exercise you won’t be fat anymore.. You will get skinny.

Every other month I get the diet bug and every time I step on the scale he ask me

Are you getting skinny?
No
Are you getting fat?
(looking at him with angry eyes”;-P )
NO, I just have to stop eating the bad stuff.
You ate bad food, Mamma?
Yes.
What did you eat?
Samosas and all other fried food and that too a lot.
You ate lots & lots?
Yes
So you got big?
Ummm yes.
You got Fat?
Ummm
You become rakshash?
NOOOOO (God, I got to stop eating fried food;-P)

We think we are diverting the kids to feed them, but they are very clever. They divert us from feeding them by talking and asking questions incessantly.

Beautiful, they have such an uncanny knack of putting one in place. The brat tells me not to eat chocolates or else "tumhare daat sad jayenge..."
