I have been teaching my niece Meera some sentences.
I call her Babu and the first sentence I taught her was "Babu monkey hai". Unfortunately my wife and sister did not catch the humor in it and twisted that to "mama monkey hai".
So I had to teach her a new sentence "mama smart hai". However that did not register with her so now she goes on with variations of "mama monkey hai" and "mama smart monkey hai"! To add she can't pronounce smart so she says माठ which means dumb in Marathi.
Now I am trying to teach her "mama clever hai". Hoping she gets over "monkey" soon :)
