Baby talk!

I have this three year old son, well those who dont know how three year olds are, come visit me sometime.
A brief decription- "chatterbox, full of whats whens whys wheres hows and what-nots, why-nots, where-nots, how-nots and when-nots"...

Once one of our friend visited us who had got married just sometime back. His wife's name is 'Zeba'. Here's how the coversation goes:

fren': 'Hello Addwait, how are you? which school do you go to , which class..."
Addwait: 'Excuse me bhai sahab, aap thoda kam baat kariye"
Fren: (after recovering from earlier response)- " Come with me, Zeba will be very happy to see you"
Addwait: "Nah Nah Nah, I am very scared of Zeba, it has big teeth, is black in colour and has long ears!!!!"
OH MY GOD!!!...very very embarassing!

So I somehow explained the friend that he's just a kid, don't know where he gets these ideas from etc. We figured out later that he understood it as 'Zebra' and not as 'Zeba'... Whew!!!
