Bath Time

“Mama, if I take a bath with this soap, will all the kidas wash away?”

This question was posed to my wife while she was giving my baby a bath. The soap alluded to is Lifebuoy, a brand which claims to offer a germ-free living experience (where else, but on television?!!).

“Of course”, replies the wife (oops, I did it again!).

“Good!” exclaims my daughter, as she scrubs herself violently with the bar of soap.

By now, the Missus is curious - why is the li’l one asking this question? Has she been up to something we should know about?

“Darling, why do you ask?”

“Oh, Papa says I’m full of kidas. I’m going to wash them all off!”

My apologies to all those who might not be familiar with Indian terminologies. Just pass up this post - it’s too complex to be translated!
