Little talks

As the teacher walked in, the little girl in pink ran to him and said loudly "She fell because of him" pointing at her friend . "What did he do?" asked the teacher. "He blew the whistle so loud that she fell." came the reply. The teacher was perplexed and asked "Which whistle?". The girl pointed to the whistle attached to her pink umbrella and said "He wanted to see it. So I gave it to him. He took  it and blew the whistle very loud and she fell." Oh!" said the teacher "your umbrella come with a whistle. How interesting!" The girl proudly held up her umbrella and said "Yes! My father bought it. I love it." "It is a pretty umbrella" said the teacher. The girl who had fallen spoke "I have an umbrella from Canada". "Oh! From Canada is it?" asked the teacher. "Yes! My father bought it from Canada. It is a red and white umbrella." The teacher tilted his head, thought for a moment and asked "Is it red and white or white and red?" The girl responded confidently "it is red and white umbrella. It has red leaves on white." "You mean red leaves on white mean it is a red and white umbrella is it?" asked the teacher. The girl in pink interjected "Yes! Red leaves on white means it is red and white".

The girl who had fallen changed the topic by asking "Do you know I have a little brother?" The teacher responded "Yes, I do. You told me last week." She continued "he's so small. He's tiny."  "This tiny?" asked the teacher. The child did not agree for the teacher's tiny was too tiny. "This tiny. He is four months old. In two months he will be six months old" she said. The girl in pink butted in with "I have a six month old baby brother. He was sleeping on the cot the other the other day. He kept rolling around the bed and fell out of the cot. So my mother placed a smaller cot besides the cot on which he was sleeping but he fell from the cot on to the smaller cot and cried." The other girl cut in and said "my baby brother does not let me sleep. He jumps on me and tries to open my eyes. I slept late that night and was sleepy the next morning at school". The girl in pink walked away. The other girl continued "You know my baby brother has been named". The teacher asked with interest "What's his name?" The girl responded "I don't know". She noticed the disappointment on the teacher's face and tried to assuage him by saying "You can ask his name to my mother when he is ten months old. But you will have to come home to ask her." The teacher nodded in agreement.

The children came running to him. One of the girls held something in her hand. As they came closer he realized it was some kind of snack. The girl handed him a cracker with vegetables and cheese stacked on top and said "We made it! We made it! Have this canopy and tell us if you like it." He looked at it joyfully and said "It looks inviting. I will eat it in one month". The children squealed in anticipation. He opened his mouth wide and pushed the loaded cracker into his month and started chomping it. The children clapped their hands and squealed in happiness.
