Beautiful Country

Ankit is in India, and he loves watching TV there.

He is watching TV when a song from the movie Veer Zaara comes on: Kitna Sona Desh Hai Mera (How nice my country is).

He turns of his phua (aunt: Papa's sister) and asks her: What are they singing?
Aunt: They are saying how nice and pretty India is.
Ankit: India is nice, but not pretty... there is dust and garbage everywhere. America is pretty.

Born in the USA, he has already imbibed the American values of 'USA is the best'.

Guys and girls

Nani is playing this computer game called Sims, when Ankit walks into the room. Sims is a game that simulates characters and allows the player to build up a city, and is fairly realistic in its content.

As Ankit watches Nani play, the scene suddenly sees a male character going to the bathroom. As the male character is standing up and doing his business, Ankit says: Oh, that guy is going susu (hindi word for No.1).

Nani, hoping that the scene will quickly get over, continues the game. Suddenly a female character is shown going to the bathroom. Now, Ankit says: With girls you cannot tell if they are doing susu or poopie (No.2) because they have no weenie.

Nani shuts the game down. The birds and bees talk seems fast approaching.

Why need clothes

Ankit is in India, where he is staying at his Nani's place (Nani = Mummy's Mummy).

Nani has given Ankit a bath and is drying him up and telling him to put clothes on when done. Just then, one of the puppies in the house walks into the room.

Nani says: See, the puppy is here. He is looking at you. You should quickly go and put your clothes on.

Ankit: Yes, I should hurry. Otherwise the puppy will think my nunnu (hindi equivalent of 'weenie') is a worm and eat it up.

Who do you marry

Ankit goes to India to attend Chacha's (Papa's brother's) marriage. He is a little puzzled with the whole deal.

Ankit: Chacha, why are you and Chachi getting married.
Chacha: We were in school together, and we liked each other. So we decided to get married.

Ankit is thoughtfully silent.

Chacha: What happened?
Ankit: I don't think Kevin and I can ever get married. Otherwise there will be two daddies.

Kevin is Ankit's friend in his school.
