Mom told us she had given Auntie Baby a "katrika" tree.
Me: Is katrika the same as murniaka (drumstick)?
Mom: Aiyoooooooooooo!
Jackie: Nolar! It's karipila (curry tree)!
Mom: Aiyoooooooooooo!
Me (to Jackie): Ele! Think you so clever ah?
Mom: How many times do I have to tell you, katrika is brinjal?
Me and Jackie: Ooooooooooooooh!
Of course, I'm also the person who argued with my Auntie Granny (Auntie Baby's older sister) that "palli" was school, rather than church. Auntie Granny was born in Kerala. Nuff said.
