Momma has the magic touch
February 20, 2008 at 6:54 pm | In Baby, Mommyhood, about me | 6 CommentsI am still not used to the word “amma (mother)”, referring me. Sometimes I tell her that I am her akka (elder sister), as that is the word I am used to being referred. (I am akka for all my brother’s friends too, so I am quite used to that reference). When she cries, I tell her,”wait akka is coming”, then I have to correct myself and stop and blink for a minute to realise that I am her amma!!
Still I could calm her down in her half sleep but in her cranky crying mood by just holding her hands and stroking on her forehead. Wow. First time I felt the magical moment.
What about Kuttima (litlegirl) for her blog name, because that is what I call her most of the time. other names are, ammakkutti, illaakkutti. Her crying sound (ungaa) sounds like amma or illaa to me, so I call her ammakkutti and illaakkutti.
*ammakkutti and illakkutti do not have meaning. kutti in general means little.
*ungaa is baby crying sound

Srilatha, ungakitta thappikka mudiyuma naan? last post-ல நிறைய கமெண்ட் இருந்ததால அப்புறமா வரலாம்னு விட்டேன். போன போஸ்ட்ல உங்க கமெண்ட் பார்த்ததிலேர்ந்து எனக்கு அப்பப்ப ஞாபகம் வந்து தனியா சிரிச்சுக்கிட்டிருக்கேன். இன்னும் சிலமணி நேரங்களில் அதில் பதில் எழுதிடறேன். இல்லாட்டி இங்கயே வீட்டுக்கே கம்போட வந்திடுவீங்க போலிருக்கே.

Thanks Prema
mmm… I’d go for the shortest to type (I’m lazy!:D ), but for cute sounding I like ammakkutti.
