Dangers of Too much National Geographic and Telugu TV

I recently started subscribing to more magazines to keep up with Aditya's reading needs. Right now, we get Tinkle, Tinkle Digest, National Geographic, Popular Science, Popular Mechanics and Wired.

Of course, I read the artiles first and "sanitize" the magazines, but still enough information slips through for Aditya to make the following comment.

We recently subscribed to Telugu channels on TV in an effort to get Adi more exposure to Telugu. He was watching a movie, where couple of guys don the diguise of a cow. He was laughing when a drunk milkman tried to milk the fake cow etc. Then a bull in heat enters the scene and the fake cow starts running. So Adi asks me why the guys are running. I told him its because they are afraid the bull will chase them. His response, "oh, so the bull will try to mate with the fake cow?"!!!!!!!

Appa Naan - Aditya

Aditya's music teacher taught him a new Tamil song. Anyone who can translate? Nanna? Maadhav?



Lyrics:
Appa naan vendudhal kettarul puridhal vendum
Aaruyirkat-kellam naan anbu seyal vendum

Yeppaarum yeppadhamum yenganum naan sendren
Yendhai nina-dharut-pugazhai iyambidal vendum

Seppadha melnilai mel suttha siva maargam
Thigazhndh-onga arul jodhi seluthidal vendum

Thappedhu naan seiyinum neeye poruthal vendum
Thalaivaa ninai piriyaadha nilamaiyum venduvane
