We use so many words in different contexts to produce totally different meanings, that it is quite a shock when someone (read the kiddo) understands it at face value. Gives a good perspective on things and sometimes, it is funny too. Have noted down some recent conversations, that I remember, below. Damn, I should note them down immediately, else will lose them in the sands of time! ;-)
Sid negotiating something with me.
Me: Nice try!!
Sid: No Mama, bad try.
Me to Josh: You get the point don't you?
Sid (interrupting): I get more points, not you!
