Just junior things

“Inniki ennada nadanthuchu school la” is a standard question which, even if didn’t asked, would be the conversation topic between me and junior on the way back home from school. He would narrate who were the bad boys and what were the naughty things happened that day. He takes immense joy in mentioning about the rants by their teachers, how the class was shouting and making all noise, riling up their teachers. New words and those spoken in a desperate tone makes it all the more funny for him. Latest in the list being “Fish market” and “dungeon”. He was all laugh and giggles to hear the class teacher shouting at them “is this a fish market or class”. And when I mentioned that the room is like a dungeon with all windows locked out, he was literally rolling with laughter thinking dungeon is a funny word and repeated the same to everyone he met, proudly stating we’ve a dungeon at our home!!!

Today’s discussion was literally the icing on the cake kind of all those chats we ever had. His tamil teacher had mentioned about some written test of Uyir ezhthukkal and Mei ezhuthukkal on his school calendar. I asked him about the test and he said the teacher has postponed it to tomorrow, the special instruction being that, she had asked them to write the test with closed eyes. I was reasonably sure that wouldn’t have been what the teacher might’ve said and asked the same question. He repeated again saying he is absolutely sure that she asked them to write it that way only. I asked him to repeat what she said verbatim and he said “Test..paakama ezhutha sonna”. It was my turn to laugh this time. In a way, he was actually right!! Imagine what he would’ve written on the paper if it had literally happened!! 😃😃😃
