Translation

(trying to test her Tamil skills)

Me: What does "kittaka vaa" mean?
Mine: 'Come close'
Me: It actually means, 'come closer'
Mine: Ok. But I was close!

When tomorrow becomes a today, it makes it easier to spell

Me: Can you spell 'today'?
Mine: T-O-D-A-Y
Me: Can you spell 'tomorrow'?
Mine: umm.... can I spell it tomorrow?
