Lunch Time
Amma: "Kids, why are you both crouching there? Lunch is getting cold."

Amma: "Stories grow better when they come out into the light, kanna, not when they hide under tables."

Maya: "Please, Rohan? I’ll only peep a little. I even kept your ladoo safe."
Rohan: "Hmm. Promise you won’t laugh if it looks funny?"
Maya: "Promise. I’ll only laugh at the jokes, not at you."
Amma: "Come sit by the window. The sunlight is perfect for superheroes."
Rohan: "Okay, fine."

Maya: "Wow! Your hero has a coconut for a helmet and a cape like Appa’s veshti!"
Rohan: "He saves people from slipping on banana peels. But I think it’s silly."
Maya: "No, it’s cool! I couldn’t see any of this under the table. It was all… blurry and hidden."

Amma: "When something is hard to see or understand, we call it obscure."
Rohan: "Yeah! Under the table, my comic was obscure. By the window, it looks awesome."
Maya: "Next time you feel shy, don’t make your ideas obscure, okay? I want to see every coconut helmet."
