Correcta sonnen pathiya?
This should have happened sometime last August. I was at my niece’s day care centre along with my mom. We had gone there to pick my niece up. My mom goes there daily, so the manager (an old man) knew her pretty well. I was actually there for the first time.
As we picked her up, the old man asked my niece pointing at me, “Ithu yaaru ma? unnoda mamava, chiththappava, athimbera? (Who’s this? Your maternal uncle or dad’s brother or dad’s sister’s husband?)”.
“Mama (Maternal uncle)”, I replied.
“Correcta sonnen pathiya! (See, I was spot on)”, he replied back, with a triumphant smile. I was dumbfounded!
