My House is Strong - Another Katya Tale

As you all are aware, power shortage is the situation normal in the real India (the <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">Garden</span> Silicon City is no exception). Katya and Baab are getting used to the situation, but her mother recently observed that Katya hasn't forgotten her birthplace ;-).
[<em>As related by her mother, as usual, and paraphrased by yours truly</em>]

Katya (to cousin): <strong><em>My</em></strong> house is not weak; <strong><em>my </em></strong>house is strong.

Somehow mother figures out that the topic of discussion is the power situation and thinks that Katya is referring to the UPS that powers the computer and the related lights in the house she is living in, until ...

Katya (continues): "Power does <strong><em>not</em></strong> go off in <em><strong>my</strong></em> house! <then flexing her teeny-weeny biceps> My house is <strong><em>strong</em></strong>!" (at this point, there is no doubt that it is not the Indian house that is being described)
