Bedtime Blues

The night and the moon seem to have this strange effect on Pattu. She comes up with such crazy demands.
Few days back she was talking to the Moon through the bedroom window and insisted that she has to go to the Moon.
Amma: Ok, we'll take a plane and go tomorrow, come sleep now.
Pattu: No amma...I want to go now... I want feathers to fly up to the moon
Amma: Only birds have feathers, we just have hands
Pattu: You ask the owl to give me some feathers amma... then I can fly
...and some trials happened with amma's dupatta and bedsheets before hitting the bed...sulking

Last night after some close examination of her fingers, Pattu decided that there is enough space for a new finger between her thumb and index finger...
Pattu: Amma, I want a finger here
Amma: Why Pattu, you have 5 already
Pattu: But there is lot of space for another one amma... then I can count till six amma and then 'Six' will be very happy amma..
...whatever that means....

The first time I introduced the new sloka, Achudam Kesavam Ramanarayanam..' , Pattu says,

'Amma, Achudam is Achu (the little boy next door) and Kesavam is Keshav (another little boy in the neighborhood), who is Ramanarayanam?' 

.... We'll find out...
