Entertaining a sick child is quite a tough job. That's what I've been doing for the past couple of days. I am tired of talking in a robot voice all the time. I don't know why Navneeth finds it funny when I sing in a robot voice. And apparently I am a mix between small wonder's Vickey and the giant robot , I can fight monsters as well as fold the laundry.
One other interesting thing we did was enacting the Malayalam nursery song 'kiyam kiyam kuruvi' , the one about the sparrow and the trees. Somehow he is not convinced by the the simple logic that the God saved the good plantain, which gave the sparrow permission to build a nest while all the bad trees fell during the storm. In Navneeth's alternative story, the plantain had a growth spurt during the storm and became stronger than all other trees and hence survived the storm. After sometime her got tired of this and found some other possible explanations.
My favorite one was : The sparrow had befriended a fighter plane up in the air. The sparrow went and complained about all the bad trees who did not give space to build a nest. And the fighter plane like a loyal, devoted friend 'took care of' all the bad trees during the storm.
The God saved the plantain. Is that too confusing for a four year old? Come on...........
