...the latest (and the longest) of Pattu's obsessions. Off she goes rattling out the names of all the cars that she sees on the road and she is almost always right! My categorisation stops with size, shape and colour, the details just elude me.
This obsession reached its feverish intensity when Pattu, running 104.5 and shivering, on the way to the doc despite the chattering teeth goes, ssa-ffa-rrri, bbo-lle-rro, ffi-ess-tta, ppu-nnt-tto and so on.
After a picnic to Guindy Children's park, I ask Pattu what she saw there and guess what she saw? She saw a Honda City, an Indica, a Xylo, and ... you get it... I had to then rephrase the question to ask, "did you see any animals" and then came a few names... rather reluctantly...
Moral of the story: You will only see what you want to see!

Good that she saw the hondas and tatas and not one anna and akka and all that:)
Well that is pretty amazing - if she remembers and can identify stuff - animals and birds are so common that Ms.Pattu decided to find something new to keep her mind active.
Btw love the flowers from the garden and a great arrangement
Am so happy to see this post - and know that I am not alone in dealing with a every-blessed-car-make-model-colour-lottu-losku rattling child on a 24x7 basis
Edho Mirugam paatha gyabagam irundhadhe - Adhukku Sandoshappadanum ...
Dhruv was exactly the same at Pattu's age. He was able to identify make, model, logos etc. Its amazing to know how much they learn at that age.
vidya - :D LOL - true!!
Pooh - yeah, she seems to be pretty good at pattern matching.. and abt the flowers - thanks :)
PV - Oh really! Pattu will meet her soulmate in Bunnu :D
Hema - don't compare Dhruv with Pattu... Dhruv is a prodigy and a genius... give him a hug from me...
