Catching up

Howdy!
Welcome to my blog spot. This is my way of catching up with you and staying connected. My little black book of phone numbers has dwindled over the years. No time to call, no time to meet - let's e-catch up. These pages are anecdotes that I would have bored you with (lucky escape for you!) if we were meeting frequently. Let me know if something is particularly ugh!

Sri said

Oct 2013
"Sri, have you finished your home work?"
"I've finished 4/7th of it."

Sri told me now "Today, when dad came to pick me up, the radio was on in the car. It said -"there are many
things wrong with this country. But, there is one main thing wrong with it - OBAMA." She and I rolled with laughter.

Last night, I asked Sri "How old do I look?"
"30...maybe 28" and then she adds "Just telling ya what you want to hear!"

_______________________________
Today, Sri started a business. "Mom, I am taking orders for thread bracelets. I've got 3 orders. They have to pay with Sri cash".

This weekend, Sri went to Great America with Ria and came back with this story: "Mom, Ria thinks she is a great fashionista. We went to the water park and then I changed into my shorts and this shirt. She says "well, your shirt does not complement those shorts." Pat came the reply "Well, YOUR top does not complement YOUR pants BUBBLE GUM!" Ria was wearing deep pink and deep blue.

My hairdresser told me this story about how a guy in a class she took talked to her about rebirth. He said "you will come back as a cockroach". Obviously, she was offended. I told Sri this story and she was shocked at his rudeness. Her response was "well, she should have said you will come back the same - as an idiot!"

I was modeling dresses in the fitting room. I'd picked a size L and it didn't fit. So, Sri says in an Afro-American accent, "no..no gal..that's a large..you're getting there, but you're not there yet!"

One of the mom's in Sri's school is very sexy and dresses like a model. We were shocked to find out she's a doctor. Sri says "I bet if you go to her with some skin issue in your hands, she would say - I think you should get your nails painted."

There's a Panda Express ad that shows a Panda bear raving about a steak and shrimp dish. Sri says "next, the Panda will get cooked".

She wears a low-cut bikini and is self-conscious. So, I tell her "you're just a little girl. Who's gonna look at you?" Pat comes the reply - "well, a little boy".

I am getting a year older tomorrow - it's May 13, 2013. I reminiscence about the past and tell her "this is gonna bet the best birthday ever." She asks "why mom?" I say "Because you are older now and I can hang out with you." She says "Right, when I was younger I believed you were 18. Hey, you got your driver license! Happy birthday!"

Last month Sri's school had a task where each child had to draw a partner and write some fun facts about the partner. Sri's biography ran:
"A fun fact about us is that we are part Indian and part Michigan".

Yesterday, a girl on American Idol had beautiful blonde hair. She says: "I wish I could pull her hair and make a fishtail braid." She is totally into braids after I bought her a bows and braids book.

At school, I sit next to Vincent who is very lazy and dumb. The teacher asked us to do Wordly Wise problems 1 through 4. He said "you do the first one. I'll do the second. I finished the first one and asked him "have you finished the second one?" He says, "Oh, you do the second one. I'll do the third."

Sri said about a "friend":
She looks pretty until she opens her mouth (her friend has buck teeth).

I was reading to her from my Feng Shui book. The writer met this woman who had a lot of duck pictures in her house - in her towels, bath mats, kitchen mats...etc. and all of them were single.
She wanted to get married. So, the writer asked her to get rid of herself and find a man.
Sri says, "she would go ask...I have a lot of ducks..do you wanna date me?"
And later "I got rid of all my ducks..do you wanna date me?"

We bought this text book for Sri that she's barely used. Bala said "you've hardly touched it."
She said "Oh, I touched it."
Bala replied "which finger did you use to touch it?"
Sri jokes "next, you'll ask me which hand I used to wipe my butt"

When I was flipping through Hema's Italy snaps with her, she says "do you mind if I don't see all 91 of them?"

She had to form a sentence with the word "ancestors".
Dressed in her undergarments, she guffaws out "my ancestors must have been from England because look at what a lady I am"

A friend asked - "what does she want to be when she grows up?" A rapper!

I sang a song that my mom taught me to Sri:
"Daddy can I go to the coffee bar where the boys and the bees are hanging out?
I promise to be good, if you say I could.
NO! my darling daughter."

Sri sings the same song:
"Daddy can I go to the coffee bar where the boys and the bees are hanging out?
I promise to be good, if you say I could.
NO! my darling daughter."
But, I'm going there myself!
