Good listening

Ankit, Papa and Mummy are going out in the car on a warm sunny day.

They stop at a cafe, where Papa has orders a mango-coconut smoothie along with drinks for everybody else. Then they get back in the car and drive on.

The first sip of the smoothie tells Papa that it is too sweet yet too lacking in flavor and hence not worth drinking. He decides to not drink it any more.

Mummy, watching Papa not touch his smoothie, asks Ankit if he would like a smoothie (Ankit had not got anything from the shop). Ankit says yes.

"Ankit, we will check if your tastebuds are working. Why dont you try this smoothie and tell us the flavors it has.", Mummy says as she hands over the smoothie to Ankit.
Ankit takes one sip and says, "Mango..... and... Coconut".

Papa is amazed: "Wow Ankit, that was really good".
Mummy: "He must have heard it in the shop. Right, Ankit?"
Ankit: "Yeah I heard it in the shop."
Papa: "Oh, I thought your tastebuds are really working".
Ankit: "My earbuds are working."
