The MEEEE experience and Parents Know Best

Yet another new funda. We used to say:

"Varun, I...love..."????

and he would spring to attention, and with a cheerful and knowing face, say :

"gung!!!"

Which technically means "you", but is said in a language only we understand. He could say anything like "light" and we would still say it means "you" because, let's face it, we are parents and understand exactly what he means, even if it makes us look silly to other people.

Now we go to graduate lessons and say:

"Varun, I love you. You...love...????"

and he goes:

"MEEEEEEEEE".
"mee, mee, mee".
"mee, meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, meeee, meeeeeee, me"
"meeememmemmmeeeeeeeee"

and so on till he finds a fly running around on the floor. Which he points to and looks at us, and in that knowing, cheerful look say, "DADDY!".

And we know that he has said, in his language that only we understand, "makkhi".
