So I called up my sister and she told me Aish had won the third prize in an art competition in the 'kindergarten' category.
"Hey, but she's only in pre-school!" I said.
"I know." My sister said proudly, "But she was there so they allowed her to enter in the youngest category they had, and she actually won!"
"Give her the phone." I said.
"Mausiiii... I won a prize!" I heard Aishu say.
"I heard, baby. Well done! You are a genius!" I said, proudly.
"I am not a genius!" She said indignantly. "I am Aishu."
Wah wah.
Never mind the fact that she said that because she doesn't know what on earth 'genius' means (she probably thought I was calling her a monkey or something), but what a lesson in humility to all grown-ups. :)

:) so you have an artist in the making in the family!
A similar thing happened a few years ago.
I'm talking to my niece:
Me: Are you hungry?
Niece: No! I'm Kimberly!
Me: ...
Kid's say the darndest things! Gotta love them!
You know, that is xactly what makes baby talk so alluring to me. So much can be taken from that one line she said. :)
miss my 'no more a baby' niece :(
