Tanushri - my 3 year old daughter is fond of asking questions which, either cannot be answered or will make me to contemplate to get an answer! This is an example of such a conversation which happened today in the morning.
Tanu: Amma(Mother) when were these flowery tiles stuck on our bath room walls? (Pointing to the tiles which had purple flower patterns in them)
Me: Three years back, when you were not born
Tanu: Oh...I was not born?? Then where did I exist at that time?
Me: You were in my tummy and you were very small.
Tanu: I want to go back to your tummy now.
Me: That is impossible. You have grown up now.
Tanu: Yes. I will not fit into your tummy right?
Me: Yes.
Tanu: But I would have been happier in your tummy (She was showing a very sad face with her lower lip projecting out)
Me : I am not sure about that....
Tanu: Why did you take me out and allow me to grow up to a big girl?? It is your fault!! I always want to be a baby in your tummy (And she started crying)
