The Father wishes for a falling asteroid
--------------------------------------------------
“Long long ago, the earth was a cloud of dust and gases”, the 7 year old exhibited his memory skills in front of the guests , isn’t it so, Acha* ? , he asked the father who nodded his head in approval. The guests were impressed evidently : “ wow , you know so much at a small age” - one of them asked ; with a question to further test the child’s knowledge in Astrophysics – “tell me, what is gas?”. Well, the boy had only a vague idea of what gases mean , or if he had, he did not know how to express it , so he said , “Hm..hm.. gases is what come out when we fart, isn't it so, Acha ?” ,the boy asked innocently.
That was a Cut without a Retake.
Social misfits

During the train trip, the 3 year old got very comfortable with the twenty-something handsome man ( a gym goer apparently ) who was sharing the same coach with the Acha, the Amma and the boys.
“Don’t you think that you are boring the dude” , asked Amma hushing the boy– “no, I am not !, are you bored ?” , asked the boy to the dude. “Not at all!”, said the dude . In another few minutes , he got up to go elsewhere. “Amma, where is the guy?” , asked the boy who has just then bent down to pick up his toy car from under the train seat. “He is gone. Did I not warn you not to bore that guy?” , asked the complaining Amma.
Pause. Pause.
The guy re entered the coach in a few minutes. “Look Amma" , the boy said, "The guy is here. So he had only gone to do SuSu*”, the boy screamed jubilantly. Everyone stood transfixed while Amma pulled the blanket over the head, when the dude and his muscles shrivelled like a deflated balloon.
*SuSu: In India, this is a child's gibberish used for pee-ing :D
*Acha : A vernacular word for Father
*Amma: A vernacular word for Mother
