Kiddie talk
Overheard this in a swimming pool the other day:
Boy #1: Aye moti! You'll fall off the float!
Girl #1: Chup bet, tu kala.
Girl #2: Kala! hahaha! Kala , kala Barrack Obama!
*General laughter*
It made me cringe, smile and raise my eyebrow all at the same time.
Cringed at the implication,
Smiled at the innocence
and raised an eyebrow ( 7 year old kid-Barrack Obama?!?!)
Didn't know I was capable of reacting in multiple ways.
Raised with complexes of 'fair and lovely' ever since our childhood,
do all Indians have an unconscious racist streak in them?
