In my opinion.....

In the car when ammA was listening to radio (NPR) about the elections

pAdukA - I know Mitt Romney
ammA - huh? How? eppadi theriyum? (How do you know?)
pAdukA - Ms. Sue sonna (Ms. Sue (pAdukA's teacher) told me)
pAdukA- Ms. Sue sonna Mr Obama President ippo (Ms. Sue said that Mr Obama is President now)
ammA - good job pattu
pAdukA - Election na enna ma? (What is election, ammA?)
ammA explains as much as she can to pAdukA about election.
ammA (wanting to  meddle with pAdukA) - nee yaara choose pannuva pAdukA? Obama va Romney ya? (Whom will you choose pAduka? Obama or Romney?)
pAdukA - no one..
ammA -  yen (why?)
pAdukA - ennakku rende perayum theriyAdhu. naan pesinadhey illai (I do not know both of them. I have not spoken to them)
pAdukA - appA choose pannuvaala ma ? (Will appA choose?)
ammA - yes ma
pAdukA - appA Obama/Romney theriyuma? avAloda oda pesinAlA ketkanum. appo dhaan choose panna mudiyum (I have to ask appA if he  knows them and has spoken to them. Only then can he choose one of them)
ammA - ! (lesson learnt)


appA  and pAdukA discussing about Lord Krishna

appA - paaru pAdukA krishna evaluavu neelam-a irukka (See how blue Lord Krishna is?)
pAdukA listening carefully to all that appA was saying
pAdukA (smiling) - appA, blue va iruppala? ellam pretend dhaane (appA, can someone be blue? All of this is pretend right?)
appA - ! (changing subject:)
