Play of words

"What is that blue car is named?" asked the boy pointing to the car in the front as we were driving.
"Alto", I replied.
"Ohhh..Alto is my favorite!" the boy replied.
"What is that black car is named?" pointing to the Mercedes next to the Alto.
"Benz" I replied.
"Benz is my favorite" the boy proclaimed immediately.
Talk about making up your mind!

On the way back, I waved my hand in exasperation at a motorcyclist who had taken an illegal turn.
"Why did you wave your hand?" the boy asked?
"Because he broke traffic rules" I replied.
"Breaking rules is yukky. I don't like him" replied the boy.

"S&it", I muttered
"Dont use that word, it is bad" the boy reminded me. Wow. I need to be careful.

"Amma... Amma...AMMA..." the boy calls out loudly
"What is it?" I ask. The wife was busy in the kitchen.
"I am not talking to you!", retorts the boy.
Sigh.
