Mia: Did I tell you…. in India ….you can get puppies for free. Oooh…. cute…. Cuddly little things.
Lena: (wide eyed): Ooooh!
Mia: And did I tell you of the time when this cow chased my mom and her friend Pam when they were riding their bikes to the university? They had to cross a field. It was summer.
Lena: Wow!
Mia: And there was this time when the cow wandered near the dorm and gave birth to a baby. A cute little baby. Oooooh!
Lena: Oooooh!
Mia: And once, a group of monkeys were passing by this place where my mom went to school, and one chased my mom and her friends and took the bananas from the shopping bags.
Lena: Wow, I wish I could go to India.
Mia: And then the monkey slapped a dog. Sometimes they steal cameras.
Lena: Wow!
Mia: Mamma, is a bull a cow’s husband? Well, our piano teacher is Mr. S, his brother-in-law had gone to Agra in India, and a bull nudged him from behind.
Lena: Gee!
Mia: And once there was this goat……and then the snake...
By this time I desperately wanted the conversation to end. I wonder what Lena will tell her mom Cindy? I made a note in my mind, to keep the animals of India out of our subsequent conversations.
