I'm sure all of you would have already read about the whole goat mask making exercise and the activity at his school.
So when I asked him what did he say when his turn came.
Betu:
"Thank you teachers.
Thank you children.
I'm a Goat.
I say woof-woof.
I give milk"
Me : Goat says what??
Betu: Woof woof
Me: *slapping my forehead* woh to Dog bolta hai. Goat kya bolti hai?
Betu: After thinking for a few seconds "baaa"
Me: Fir aapne woof woof kyun bola?
Betu: *looks blankly at me*
Me: Fir Ma'm ne kya bola?
Betu: Sab hasne lage
Me: *in a disappointed voice* koi nahi..next time theek se bolna
And I left it at that. I know I should have at least praised him for speaking up in front of all but I was quite disappointed. He was saying it so well at home.
Today he had to go and say these lines as a part of a small skit "I've never see an Elephant which is blue in color".
So over the weekend I practiced it with him. But he rehearsed these lines with a lot of reluctance. Every now and then he would say "Par maine to blue elephant dekha hai. Dumbo!! cartoon network mein aata hai." :D
Now I wonder what will he say during the skit. Will he be able to say the lines properly or will he add these lines of seeing a blue elephant? :D
its okie! if as adults we are prone to stage fright, can happen to kids too! :)
ReplyDeleteam syre he will rock with the blue elephant!
cheers!
abha
Oh dont worry. Either way, he would have done well.

Lol. It is ok, only kids can make cute goof-ups like these. At this age, everything is cute and enjoyable. So chill!
ReplyDeleteBut why can't the goat says woof woof ? If anirudh can become a goat , goat can say woof woof too :P
ReplyDeleteGood logic by Swati. Well, give him lots of love. I think it's great that he gets to participate in such activities.
ReplyDeleteso the suspence continues......[which will be revealed soon]..:P
ReplyDeletenot to worry, even if he talks about the blue elephant he is justified!! either way he'll be cute :)
