Tummy, marriage etc... :-)

That day I was interacting with a kid. He is around 5. Actually his father is my patient and thus I had met him for a number of times. They were about to leave my chamber and then something clicked my mind... I jokingly asked the child one question which I quite often use to ask my nephews and nieces...

"Baba, tell me one thing... Am I good?"

He knew what I wanted to hear... With a bright smile he answered,

"You are a 'very good' doctor uncle... "

Wow... My chest got expanded I suppose... And the increase in my smile... Nothing new to mention about that... I got the desired answer... Anyway, nobody can be better than me in self praising, I mean praising himself or herself... :-):-)

"Thank you, thank you Baba.. Tell me.... Am I a boy or a man?"

He thought for a moment and then said,

"You are a 'man' uncle..."

This time I certainly failed... At least the kids in my family know it well to please me by saying that even at 32, I am still a boy... :-):-)

I asked him, "Why not a 'boy'?"

He answered, "Because you are married..."

I was amused you know...

"How do you know that I am married?"

He brushed his hair and answered with a shy smile,

"Because uncle... Your tummy is big !!!"

This time I couldn't control myself... Both I and his father just laughed our lungs out....

Didn't know that a big tummy is a sign of married marital status !!! :-):-):-)
