Kids just say the darnedest things!
What happens when mythology meets reality? Chetana, Amma of 4 year old Disha in Bangalore, shares this moment inspired by the story of baby Krishna eating mud.
D has probably heard the story of Krishna eating mud from her grandmother. So we were role playing. On her request I was Krishna’s mother and she was Krishna. I had just made a fresh batch of banana ice cream which became her butter.
So when Krishna asked Amma, “Amma, I need butter,” Amma said, “take it” (pointing at the container of ice cream).
While eating ‘butter,” Krishna says, “Amma I ate some mud.”
Amma asks, “open your mouth.”
Krishna opens mouth.
Amma exclaims, ” I can see the world in your mouth!”
Krishna says, “Amma please brush my teeth properly!”
AskAmma thanks Chetana for sharing this story. Happy Birthday Disha!
