So many ammA-s



I am so confused by the concept of people aging, babies being born and so on. My ammA is even more confused. Here is why I think so

While driving to a shop -

Me - ammA, appA thoppai lerndhu pAppA varumA? (will a baby come out of appA's tummy?)

ammA - no, pAppA appA thoppai lerndhu varAdhu? (no, baby will not come out of appA's tummy?)

Me - yen? (why?)

ammA - appA girl ilai (appA is not a girl)

Me - appo yen thoppai lerndhu varummA (so, will a baby come out of my thoppai?)

ammA - nee big girl-a Anapparam (after you become a big girl)

Me - big girl kalyanam apparam-a? (after I am a married big girl?)

ammA - yes correct

Me - appo yen thoppai lerndhu pAppA, madhura thoppai lerndhu pAppa, madhurA, nAn ellarum serndhu vilaiyAdalAm la? (baby from my tummy, baby from madhurA's tummy, madhurA and I can all play together, right?)

ammA (not answering) - hmmm..??

Me - ilai ammA, appo naraiya ammA vA iruppA. (then there will be so many ammA-s)

ammA - nAn dhAn onnoda madhurA oda ammA evalavu vayasu AnAlum (I am your and madhurA's ammA however old you might be)

Me - yen thoppai lerndhu pAppA vandhA, nAn ammA dhAne, madhurA thoppai lerndhu pAppA vandhA madhurA ammA dhAne? (If a baby comes out of my tummy, I am a ammA and madhurA will be a ammA when a baby comes out of her thoppai)

ammA - (not answering)

Me - appo neraiya ammA dhaane iruppA? (then there will be so many ammA-s?)

ammA - AmAm! (yes) pAdukA, vera edhAvadhu kelu. (ask about something else)

Me - (hmmm... she is as confused as I am. So let me ask something she knows about;) ammA kadaila ennaku edAvadhu vAngithA (ammA please buy something for me in the shop)
