My daughter has been having massive chocolate cravings lately. This is how one of our recent conversations went:
She: Amma, I’m worried about my health..
Me: Why buddy?
She: I like chocolates so much that I’m worried I’ll eat too many of them and spoil my health..
Me: Oh, I understand. But you don’t have to worry. I’ll help you to not eat so many chocolates so that you can stay healthy
She: But I’m still worried because I like chocolates so much…
Me: Why do you worry when I’m here to take care of you…
She: Ok. I won’t worry. Amma, I feel like eating chocolates. Can I have some?
Me: You had chocolates just yesterday, buddy. I don’t think you should have anymore for another week.
She: But amma, I told you I like chocolates a lot.
Me: But I thought that you were also worried about eating too many chocolates and spoiling your health.
She: I’m not worried anymore. Can I have some?
Me: But I’m worried. And I just told you that I’m here to take care of your health in case you need help..
She: (starts laughing at her own blunder…) Amma, please just a little bit..
Me: (also laughing). No buddy, too many chocolates is not good for your health….
(Thinking to myself – I guess I won the battle this time. But who knows what she’ll come up with next…need to watch out…)

“I’m not worried anymore. Can I have some?” — this is hilarious!
