A Jet Lagged Morning

Tirur, Kerala:


Jet lagged morning in Kerala, Mamma, Acha and baby go for a walk and happen to closely admire a butterfly atop a flower.

Baby: Mamma, what is the butterfly doing ?
Mamma: It is drinking nectar, its food from the flower. You see that?



Baby nods. We reach back home, the toddler trots to kitchen and grabs a plate from her grandmother to collect flowers fallen on the ground.

Mamma: Gullu are you collecting flowers for the temple ?
Baby : No Mamma! I am collecting flowers to keep for butterflies, so that they can come to my house and drink nectar.


Mamma zapped ! Baby trots away calling butterflies 'You naughty little butterflies eat your food !'
Mamma and Acha laughing in splits ...
