Dumbstruck

For the last few days, The Wife has been trying to teach The Daughter stuff like "What is your name?", "What is your Mother's name?", "What is your Father's name?", and so on, with the appropriate responses...basically, trying to prepare her for the soon-to-begin Great Indian Formal Education Adventure. Then, a couple of days ago...

...The Daughter clambers up my study table, where I am sitting and working on my laptop, pokes my upper arm for attention, and asks me [speech accompanied by finger-wagging action]: "Arrrilbann, ki korrchhho?" ["Anirban <mispronounced>, what are you doing?"]

DUMBSTRUCK!!!!!!
