Rangoli Mishap
Meera: "Arjun, did you touch my rangoli plate? The colors are all mixed!"
Arjun: "No! Maybe the wind did it."
Meera: "The wind doesn’t wear Spiderman slippers like you."
Amma: "And the wind doesn’t leave purple fingerprints on the floor."
Arjun: "My tummy feels twisty. I don’t like it."
Meera: "That’s your ‘I did something’ tummy."
Arjun: "If I say it, will you both shout?"
Amma: "If you confess, I’ll listen. If you hide, I’ll be disappointed."
Arjun: "Okay… I confess. I blew through a straw to make a color rocket."
Meera: "In my peacock blue bowl?"
Arjun: "It went WHOOSH and all the colors ran away."
Amma: "Thank you for confessing. Now we can fix the rangoli together."
Meera: "I’m still a bit mad, but it does look like Holi fireworks."
Arjun: "I’ll help you redo it. No more secret rockets."
Amma: "Good. After the fixing, we confess we all want gujiyas."
