Adai for Tiffin ?

An evening conversation after father's day celebration at the daycare between Jr. and me.

Me: didn't you say you were hungry at the function ? Daddy is going to make some Adai (south Indian crepe made from Lentil flour, red chilis and curry leaves). Do you want some ?

Jr. : Yes daddy.

Me : Here you go (and I give her a piece)

Jr.: This is so voraikkardhu (hot and spicy). I don't want it.

Me : (after tasting it) No, it is not! You have to eat at least one.

Jr.: No, I DONT WANT IT.

At this point I decided that the usual coaxing, cajoling, threatening etc. will not work. So I decided to take the same batter for 1 Adai and made 4-5 little adai's. They looked cute.

Me : I have a surprise for you. Come to the kitchen and see what I have made.

Jr. : (looks at it)You made baby adai's for me !? Give me one.



San who was busy feeding the little one, came back and was very impressed that I managed to get something inside Jr.

That "#1 DAD" medal that Jr. put around my neck at the daycare function.. I think I earned it!
