Baab's Tales - Part 1

(As related to me by Mrs. Porcupyn)
Baab comes home from school; is obviously puzzled.

Baab (head moving like a Spring Doll): Amma, how do I do it?
(Equally puzzled, <em>with a touch of exasperation showing through</em>) Mom: Do what now?
Baab (still trying to shake his head): Shake my head!

Mom gives some tips on an acquired skill...

<em>Two days later ...</em>

Baab (animated): Look Amma, I can do it now.

Proceeds with a vigorous, inimitably (<em>inimitable no more</em>!) desi, head nod - northwest to southeast followed by southwest to northeast (axis points from head to toes). ;-)
