Salaa!!

Remembered this story from my childhood.

I have a cousin, lets call her N. I wouldn't give here any more information about her for fear of revenge if she finds out that I have been making fun of her. In all probability she doesn't remember the story as it happened when she was in class 1.

One evening N was sitting on her father's lap. Here's how the conversation went:

N: "Daddy, how is sonu bhayiya (thats me :) ) related to you?"
D: "He's my bhatija."

N: "hmm....how is aie(maternal grandmother) related to you?"
D: "She's my saas."

N: "hmmm....how is Biranchi Mama related to you??"
D: "He's my salaa." ....

N: "salaa!!!!??????"
D: "yes"

N: "salaaaaaaaa!!!!!?????"
D: "yes sweetie."

N: "aur kutta bhi????"
