When Pattu was barely two and becoming extremely interested in physiology and anatomy of the human body, the 'thoppai' (tummy) was the first to fascinate her. The bigger, the better was her idea then. She would stand in front of the mirror and examine her 'thoppai' for a long time. At times she would insist on examining the amma's and appa's 'thoppais' as well, launching into some descriptive comparisons that'll make you squirm. Then came a day when an innocent visitor to our house was subject to similar examination.
Pattu: '
Ungalukku thoppai irukka?' Do you have a tummy?
Guest: **GULP** or **AARRGHH** or a brave or one with a sense of humour would nonchalantly quip, 'Yes, I do have'
Pattu:
Kaattungo ...Show....
We haven't seen a guest survive that attack.
Soon after the
thoppai, she picked up the 'Bum' word, thanks to us! So you can imagine the plight of the guests!
Pattu: 'Ungalukku bum irukka?' Do you have a bum? Kaattungo ...Show....
For a while we didn't have visitors!

What is it with Thoppai ? Jillu is fascinated with Thoppai and belly button ! Still is :)
Ha ha ha ha! Sounds funny nw, but cn imagine the rolling eye sockets of the guests lol ;)
So, what is the state nw!
ROFL! We've been through that 'Thoppai' phase too!
Hilarious....i wud die then and there if someone asked me to show bum or tummy..heeh
Thanks for the warning. Kuttyma is just starting with the belly button stage. Scary!
Arul, mnamma - Laugh away! :)
Shruti - Really!
Vidya - She would have been happy to show you :D
Lavanya, Hema - I think almost all kids have that phase!
Swaram - You imagined right :( ... Thankfully, she has put that behind her now..
AM - You would die even more if it is your kid asking random people!!
Pooh - Brace yourself... though I wish you wouldn't have to go through this :)
That is so funny
ROFL!
Aryan, Chox - :D Someday when I tell her she would be equally embarrassed I guess :)
LOL! Na went through the toppai stage, skipped the bum stage. Now Rad is going through the toppai stage, hopefully she will also skip the latter!
While Na was only interested in family toppai's, Rad is interested in other's toppai also, but only of her height. So the embarassment is quite short! Hopefully it will stay that way :)
Shankari - Yes, I've heard so much about the thoppai fascination with other kids as well... but god seems to have chosen me for the latter :D
Rad seems to be more conservative in her examination - lucky you!
And Saffron Tree is so on Pattu's pluse :)
Check out Wordjunkie's review of the BUTT book. I can't wait to lay my hands on it. The book I mean, not the butt :)
