Toby & Timmy
Little Toby appeared extremely happy that day…..his long cherished dream of going to school like his sis Timmy was to be fulfilled shortly.. The initial part of the admission process was almost over. All through the day Toby had been boasting about his new school with great excitement….if someone happened to cross with him…that would be the end.. He or she would be given a shower of rather ‘big’ words from that sweet little mouth. But since a bit of anger made that face all the more cute everyone kept on irritating him…n he kept on telling “nan veroruucham skoolil povum”!!!

Timmy the Teacher
By noon Timmy returned from the school n without wasting time she took on the role of Toby’s teacher. She tried in earnest to teach her little bro the way to wish a teacher, the way to answer questions like ‘what’s ur name’, ur father’s name, place name etc… The initial excitement on Toby’s face was no more…n he looked rather bewildered n puzzled. The problem was, before getting the admission he had to encounter an “interview”!! The' sis-bro sessions' continued throughout the afternoon hours…n the atmosphere remained calm except for certain occasional shrieks n fights….

The Performance
After supper the whole family gathered together n quite obviously Toby was the centre of attraction.. Timmy the teacher began the questions….n Toby answered them one by one so quickly n so intelligently that the audience literally fell into tears coz of excess laughter. After answering each question that usual triumphant smile appeared on Toby’s face….from the audience’s response he presumed that the performance was really good. But Timmy’s face was getting darker n darker as she passed from question to question…n finally after Toby answered the last question the teacher-cum-sis furiously took him to the room And ….am sure anyone can guess what might have followed….dishum..##%#@>..dishum…@$#%..,dishum!!!

A glance into the question-answer session::

Timmy: How will u wish ur teacher???
Toby: Thanku!!

Tim: What is ur name??
Tob: Maa name ich… hmm….Aluva..!!

Tim: ur father’s name??
Tob: gud morning!

Tim: What wil u say when ur teacher give u chocolates?
Tob: Tobias Joseph!!!
