Little Boys and Littler Girls

Once upon a time (to be more specific, this evening!), a little boy and a slightly littler girl were waiting for their respective parents to finish their work at photo studio.

The two kids started trying to communicate with each other. This is how.

Boy: Leans back on wall, hands tucked into pockets, stares at girl

Girl: Fiddles with her little Dupatta, smiles shyly at the boy

.

In a few minutes, Boy becomes bolder, walks upto Girl. Girl smiles, touches him on cheek. Boy did not expect this, hurries to hide behind his Mommy.

.

Boy asks (booming voice): ‘Why is she touching me?’

Mummy (embarassed): ‘No she isn’t touching you!’

.

Boy: ‘Oh yes, she IS. Why is she doing it?‘

Mummy (exasperated): ‘Er, because she thinks you are her friend’

.

Boy (does not look very convinced): ‘Is it because I am a Handsome Boy?’

Mummy: (Searches for place to hide her face)

.

A few minutes later, Girl prepares to leave with her dad. Turns back to give that final look, before she walks out through that door!

.

Boy (looking sad) – Turns to Mummy and asks: ‘Where is she going?’

Mummy (with a sigh of relief): ‘She’s going home’

.

Boy (looking perplexed): ‘But, Is she not going to marry me????’

Mummy: Aaaaaarrrrrrggggggghhhhhhhhhh!!!!!

.

………And to think the Boy is not even 4 years old !!!! Sigh!!!!!!!! ………

.

.

EDITED TO ADD (2-Sep-10):

.

This morning….

.

Mummy (asks teasingly): The girl didn’t marry you, huh?

Boy (rewinds to last night): Hmmm, no, she didn’t!

.

Mummy (being mean): Why???

Boy (unflinching): She changed her mind! She thought I was a rose-bush!!!

.

Mummy (explains patiently): ‘You can marry ONLY when you are 30 and not 4, GOT IT?????’

Blushing Boy: Nods, smiles, and casually mentions Princess Jasmine!!!
