Anu was disgusted. What a silly baby. Potty in the nappy!

And Aai and Aunty were mad! They didn’t even scold the baby.

If I just pee in my underwear by mistake, Aai glares at me. But now look at her doing ‘kootchie-coo!’ to the baby! Wait till I get home. I’ll tell Baba how unfair Aai is.

“Let’s go home, Aai!” Anu cried.

“Why, Anu, don’t you like the baby?” asked Aunty.
“Chee!” said Anu.

“Silly baby, does potty in the nappy, doesn’t talk, doesn’t play. I don’t like your baby. Why did you get yourself such a silly baby?”

On the way back home, Anu asked her mother, “Aai, when will I become a baby?”

“You won’t become a baby again,” said Aai. “You’ll grow bigger now.”

“I don’t want to be big! I want to be a baby and I want to sleep in your lap, and I want to drink milk with a spoon and I want to sit on Baba’s shoulders and go out and…”

Anu muttered all the way home.

Tell us: What do you think of the way Anu behaved?
