In my last post, I spoke about an Indian restaurant… Bollywood Theater. Please check this for something akin to a restaurant review. While at the restaurant, DD and her friend finished dinner. Since the adults were still scarfing down food (it was that good) DD and her friend decided to provide us with some entertainment during dinner.
They said they’d do a play. We were asked to give them all our attention. They set the stage by saying that they were a couple out on a date and DD specifically pointed out to us that they were not married. So the play started. DD and her friend spent the first 15 minutes looking for a table at the restaurant and the next 15 deciding who will pull the chair for whom. They hadn’t decided who was to be the girl and who the boy hence the whole debate. All my lessons on feminism have gone down the drain, but I will do a post on that later.
Eventually, they each pulled out their own chairs (all hope may not be lost yet), sat down and said “What’s up?” That is all the conversation that was exchanged until the end of the play. When they came to the table to ask for feedback, I said “You guys are out on a romantic date and all you can say to each other is What’s up?” DD immediately quips “We were lost in each other’s eyes.” (It’s not my fault, she watches too many 3rd grade Hindi soaps, never mind that she watches them with me).
However, I continued to poke fun at DD for the lack of dialog. She put up with it for 3 minutes and then said “Well, guess what, we’re now married. That should explain the lack of conversation.”
After 2 minutes of zapped silence, all 4 adults looked at each other and said almost at once “What the heck have we been teaching them about married life?” *Gulp*
LOL too good. Such apt replies from DD or rather stunning replies. Makes me think about the ways the kiddos interpret things.
Hey Sumana,
I wonder too, how much they pick up from our verbal and not so verbal communication
LOL!!! What a bang on reply
Good one

Thank you StyleDestino and Welcome, too.
You are the ultimate outer limit as I call such ‘hopeless cases.’
But loved the entire play and the audience reactions!
The audience was rendered speechless and scarred for life, too
He he he.. now that is a true answer.. after a tiring day this made me smile… He he he
I’m glad we were able to bring a smile to your face
Ahh these zokes about marriage
Witty reply btw!
Thank you JATG!!
Oh yeah, all the iPads, iPods, Disney channels has led to this oversmart generation
LOL…whattay reply!
HA HA..Your DD is way too smart, I see a future Lawyer, in the making…the courtroom would be an apt place for her.
Love Ash.
Hey Ash, she actually can’t make an argument to save her life, so I see no high powered lawyer but she is witty and has a very wicked sense of humor. So, she might become a stand up comedian and that, for some reason has me really scared
I think DD is a great actor, drama queen etc. But right now, please convey my hugs to her.
Duly conveyed, Sudha… she sends hugs and kisses back to you.
i am having so much fun reading your posts
. please post more often. that play was OUTSTANDING
Thanks Deb, I think you’ve come visiting after a long time. Isiliye itne saare posts ek saath padhne ko mile hain. I’ll have to wait for DD to make more such statements in order to write more such posts. Knowing DD, zyaada din nahi rukna padega
That was a thought provoking romance in the stale air.
What a unique way to put it, although if she stayed away from romance for another 18 or so years, it’d give me some shanthi.
A huge LOL for this!
Hi Rahul,
Thanks for stopping by and welcome. Also, I am really glad it brought a smile to your face.
