Musings from missed cues

Some times we get lost in a train of thought or go into such expansive thinking that we miss the visible cues staring in our face.  One such amusing thing happened this morning.

Just before giving bath to Datta I removed the Diego band-aid he 'sported' for two days on his left elbow, saying his boo-boo is gone and he is fine now.  He agreed and stopped holding his hand in an awkward pose.  After the bath, while getting dressed, we were talking and suddenly we had the following conversation.

Datta: Naannaa (Dad) - how do boo-boos go away?

Me: When you eat well, and ...

D: (interjecting) Ba... it's a ba...

Me: and stay healthy...

D: (again) B'.... b'....

Me: without eating junk food, boo-boos get better and go away quick....

D: Naannaaaaa ... (in an almost exasperated tone) With a band-aid.

Me: Oh...yes!!  If we put a band-aid, it goes away!!

See... some questions warrant just a simple answer. :)  

Swasti!!
