Her name is Preethie, going to be 25 in 3 days..... She can be a real pain at times but thats what i love in her.I couldn't resist posting what happened today.
I've been studying various flowers and insects lately and I wanted my sister to know that too. So whilst returning from church in the bus i was showing her the trees and telling her the names.
Me: Thats a flame in the forest.Preethie: Yeah yeah "know it all girl".
Me: Its a natural colour used to make holi colors.
Preethie: Imagine I smear it on your face..
Me: Yeah right..
Me: Look there, thats plumeria also known as Frangipani and in India the locals
call it "Temple flowers".Preethie: I know, i know, you've told that to me many times.
Psst...she wasn't really listening.
Me: Have you heard of Lantana.

Preethie: Ammm, Santana?? Yeah, the guy with the guitar on VH1.
Me: Pest, LANTANA!!!
Preethie: Nopes, haven't heard of it. Yawn!!!
Me: Well, our childhood was associated with this flower a lot... Will show you when the shrub comes.
Preethie: Yawn!!!! wakay!! (Ok)
Me: Look, those colourful small flowers there, thats a lantana.
Preethie: Oh wow, a discovery!!! Good job Kiddo..... I taught you to suck this flower from behind.
Me: What??? (Totally perplexed).... Please do mention that i had the nectar,
Preethie: Pervert!!!
Me: Its in the mind of the thinker!!!
Preethie: I don't think rt, atleast u say that...So its you...PERVERT!!
Now I was looking for a way to get back on her.... Knowing that shes a lil funnily dumb, I show the Frangipani flower tree and ask..
Me: Bozo, what did i say the name of that flower was??
Preethie: FUNKY PANNI!!!!
(Panni in tamil is pig....Now wow, imagine that a Funky pig, yo man!!)
I burst into peals of laughter and she just gave me an attitude look...
Shes adorable, more like a pet... I always missed not having an elder bro...but now, not really.... All my cousin brothers are either married with 2 kids, or their wives are pregnant and the only single guy is busy with his girl...
I call my sis with various names and she totally loves it . Motu, bozo, pest, mongrel, pesko etc etc...
Shes the best.....My pet mongrel :-)
