The importance of having dinner

So mamma sat down at the dining table gathering unto her the packet of puris, the boiled moong dal, the soaked boondi, the boiled and mashed potatoes, the pani and the methi chutney. The brat looked on appalled. He looked at the clock which was striking eight pm.

"Mamma, what are you eating now?" Said in high pitched offended questioning tone.

Mamma cast a puzzled eye at her mite. "Pani puri," she replied without elaborating.

Brat puckered up his nose, placed hands on hips in manner of fisherwoman preparing for a brawl. "You is nod eating dinner?"

"No," replied mamma, her concentration on the task at hand leading to mono syllablic replies.

"Mamma," barked the brat. "Donchu know its dinnertime? Why you is eating all dis rubbish. Don eat dis. You must eat dinner. Dinner is good. You will become big an strong and healthy girl. "
