Anyways, today was one of those rare days, I wanted to watch some bollywood songs in Cantaloupe's presence. I had burnt these songs into a DVD long time back and it had been close to 2 years since I had ever watched it. Here is how the whole episode went.
- First song: Mujhe Rang De , rang de (Takshak):
Her question: Why isn't uncle wearing any shirt (the side dancers who didn't have shirt on) ...
Me: (Bad song to play) ... next song played
Song: (Duplicate): Mere Mehboob mere sanam
Cantaloupe: Why isn't aunty wearing saree (pointing to Sonali's clothing)
Me: ooops .... next song
Song: Pyar dilon ka mela hai
Cantaloupe : Where is her dress ? Why isn't she covered (Karisma is wearing a strapless top and some weird clothing)
Me : OK .. next song
Song: Nimuda Nimuda (Hum Dil de chuke sanam)
Cantaloupe : Why is aunty churning her stomach like that ?(annoying Aishwarya's dance)
Me : (Is there any song I see without being questioned ?)
Song: Chuk Dum Dum
Cantaloupe: Nice song .... why do they need to sing in the rain ?
Me : You sing Rain, rain go away and Twinkle Twinkle and the like .... they sing this song.
I don't wait for long and move on to next song ... infact I change the DVD
Song: Bumbaro, bumbaro (mission Kashmir)
Me: (finally one of her favourite songs .... she has listened to this song couple of times)
Cantaloupe: (after watching the video for a few secs) : Why is aunty's palm dirty ?
Me: Oh dear ... this is called Mehendi ...
Cantaloupe : Its ok to have mehendi ?
Me: Yes ....
(finally there is one song I can watch with her without answering embarassing questions)

OMG Really? Wow! She is so observant!
This is what I dread about bringing up babies..esp girls. Bad Bad world that we live in !
@poppins: I agree we live in a bad world ... but I don't know if it is easier to raise boys than girls ... I think it would have been equally embarassing to answer the same questions put forth by Cantaloupe, if it were to be from a boy
What I mean by that is how do you explain to a girl that it is inapropriate to dress like that when all the females in TV/media are dressed like that. Plus they are shown as objects of desire..!
poppins: I see your point now ... absolutely ... its so much harder now than it used to be when we were growing
blog hopped here! cantaloupe sounds seems to be a sharp little girl! i have a 9 week old little girl and i'm already worried about how to answer the whys and hows.
