Circa May 2009
Me: Taran, Roshan, which activities do you want to do this summer?
Taran: We only want to do tennis, swimming, soccer, music lessons and ice-skating this summer.
Roshan: And bowling too.
Me: PHEW! Do you know how much all of this costs?
Taran: Is it a lot?
Me: Yes, a LOT of money.
Taran: Can't papa pay for it?
Me: Sweetheart, papa ONLY works for Infosys!
Taran: Papa, can't you ask them to give you more money?
Ritesh (smiling): I have asked them many times, but they don't listen.
Roshan: No problem! We can pay by check.
Me: But we need to have enough money in our bank account for that.
Roshan: No problem. We will pay by credit card. (Spoken like a true American!!!)
Ritesh: Well, but we have to pay the credit card companies back.
Roshan (with a momentary hestitation of "OHHH OHHH!" quickly figured out the solution): No problem! We will take a loan from the bank.
(By this time, Ritesh and I were rolling on the floor with laughter)
Ritesh: But we still have to repay the loan. Where will the money come from?
Roshan: We just won't repay. We will just ask Timothy Giethener and Barack Obama to take care of this.
Ritesh and me: If we don't pay, they will take our house away. We just might fall in the TARP category.
Roshan (with an "I can fix that too" expression): No problem! If they take our house, we will take theirs; we will just move to the White House! After all mom voted for Obama.
