When chotu got off the school bus yesterday, I could see he was bursting to ask/tell me something and sure enough..
Chotu: Amma, ennaku middle name iruka? (Do I have a middle name?)
Amma: of course, iruke and proceeds to tell his middle name.
Chotu: (Considering this for a while) ohh ok ok.
Amma: (Thinking about the times, she had told chotu his complete name and wondering about the source of this question).
Chotu: Amma, Rohan (bus /lunch table/ workgroup buddy) told to me that he also has a middle name.
Amma: (a ha so this is where the discussion started).
Chotu: Amma do all peoples have middle name?
Amma: Some yes, some no.
Chotu: Do you have middle name?
Amma: No.
Chotu: Does appa have middle name?
Amma: No.
The discussion ended here.
Later in the evening, he tells me. “All peoples must have middle name. It should be their own name first, their amma’s name next and their appa’s name third”. He also tells me that his appa and I have broken this very simple rule and have given him a wrong middle name.
If only we were made aware of the “rule” before.
PS : Hope you folks are being treated to a very bright , happy, healthy and positive 2012 so far.
