Art of Convincing - Starring Witty Nithila and Appa

It was a beautiful Sunday.we woke up late and had a relaxed morning breakfast.
After breakfast my kid starts egging me to come and play with her.Restless like any other  kid she always has to keep doing something. Role Play is something she loves.
She drags me,a Lazy Bum Father to her room to play.

NITHILA    :Appa.Can you come and play with me?
APPA(ME):  What game da??

NITHILA:   You be my guest. I will cook you food(She points at her toy kitchen)
                     and you eat.
APPA(ME): Ok Super. I am in. (My kid knows exactly what game to play with me he he)


NITHILA: Ok.Let us start.You have to come and say hi to enter my house.
APPA(ME): (I get ready) Hi Nithila!!(I act like i am entering)


NITHILA   : Ayyo! Appa. You have to first press the calling bell.
APPA(ME): Oh Ok.(Mind voice Take 2) Ding Dong.Ding Dong.

NITHILA   :Who is at the Door??
APPA(ME): Hi Nithila! It's me. Vijay.

NITHILA   :Oh.Hi Vijay.Come inside.What would you like to eat?(No beating around the bush straight to the scene)
APPA(ME):Hmm.Fish Fry and Fish Gravy.

NITHILA   : Oh.We don't have it.Need something else??
APPA(ME): What do you have?

NITHILA   : Saambar and Dosa.
APPA(ME): No. I don't want that.

NITHILA   : Sorry.Sorry. Ask again. But something else.
APPA(ME): Mutton Gravy and Mutton Fry (Even though its a game i realised i was salivating.Pavlov's theory flashed in my mind)

NITHILA   :Ok.I will cook that.

Then 5 seconds later.

NITHILA   : Appa. How about this?If you agree to eat Saambar and Dosai, you will get 2 cakes for free.
APPA(ME): Stumped. Then ROFL.


Realised that i need to learn a lot about the Art of Convincing and management from my kid.
