Dad: Ok, which story.
MishMash: Mmmm Princess story, papa.
Dad: OK. Once upon a time there lived a princess..
Mish Mash: No papa. I want Witch story.
Dad: OK. There once lived a witch..
MishMash: Bad Witch, papa.
Dad: OK. There once lived a bad witch. One fine morning, she caught a boy walking and said- abracadabra, turn the boy into a sheep. She wanted to keep the sheep in her cage..
MishMash: No Papa. She says- Abla-ca-dabla- turn the boy into a chocolate.
Dad: then
MishMash: the boy turns into a chocolate. The Witch eats him up. *Bursts into a giggle*. THEEEE END.
Dad: Hmmmm
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
MishMash: Nobody loves me. *Sulking at the other end of the bed*
KG: Why do you say that (head buried behind a book. A desperate attempt to escape the torture of narrating the 6th story that
night.
MishMash: Nobody is telling me a story.
KG: But papa just finished telling you 5 stories. You should go to bed.
MishMash: *almost ready to cry*
KG: Ok last one?
MishMash: OK.
KG: Once upon a there lived a Good Barbie. She went to school every day. (a desperate attempt to make school sound fun to her)
Mishmash: No ma. No school story. I want Bad Barbie story.
KG: Good Night.
MishMash: Amaake Keo Laab korena (nobody loves me) *breaks into sob*
(papa hugs her, tells her ‘cocodile’ story.
All the three live happily ever after.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
MishMash: Ma, I want a ‘real baby’. (Holds her blue baby boy doll in hand)
KG: *completely taken by surprise* – what's a ‘Real baby’, Meeshu?
MishMash: Real baby, ma. We’ll change nappies.
KG: Hmmmm. Papa was thinking of a lovely pup or may be a kitten, which one would you like more?
MishMash: Real baby, ma.
KG: Hmmmmm. What do you plan to name the ‘real baby’.
Mish: mmmmm – Go Lego Go and Dola (Go Diego Go and Dora)
KG: 2 names for one real baby?
Mish: Ya mum.
KG: hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

9 Go on, say something:
ok....see my point? the kid wants a real baby now...thats how kids r gowin up these days...
Love the way you narrate it!!!! But 6 stories in a night...christ sake....
I see great potential in Meeshu. She could be an actress (I visualised her frowning and 'ready to cry')...She could be a great writer (Surely she has the imagination of her mother)...She could also be the catalyst to your family planning (where else would the real baby come from?)
@debanjana: i get it babe. u are bang on!
@Starryeyed nut: thanks darlingey! yes yes, 6 is the minimum number. these day both raj and i have ourf aces covered with a book. :D We are hoping she will try to imitate us and ick her own, but no such luck, yet.
Scribler: catalyst, did u say? Since she has a vivid imagination, her real baby should ideally be one too- ie imaginary. Else, i'll point her to all her mashis, who are postpoing procreation and tell her that, she'd be able to get a real baby from them perhaps?
some where the characters in all of meeshu's desired bed-time stories, remind me of your classic statement:: the sooner you understand that your kid likes Tom more than Jerry, the better for you.........when will my m start hating jerry i wonder.........
Hahaaa...Just popped in from Indiblogger & Loved this post! MishMash is so imaginative!
OMG..Meeshu wants a real baby..Appu what u gonna do 'bout it? I have an idea.. adopt my son..wotsay? :)
@IK: :D :D :D. Mish is slowly getting over tom...she has mixed feeling towards him these day.
@Choco: thanks for visiting and your really lovely 'review' on indiblogger. :D U made my day!!
@lilmorethanmommy: i don't mind u know...anything to avoid the nine months and the sleepless nights after the big event. sheesh...i cringe at the very thought of going through it agian. Sorry meesh, u have to make do with a kitten.
