Puris for Dinner

Mooli’s Amma had made the family favourite for dinner that evening. Puris with channa. Amma was in a great mood.

She had received many compliments for her cake at the Peace Conference. One TV channel said that the ‘beautiful white Peace Cake had been made by the city’s baking queen’.

The red jelly beans had looked just right on the peace dove. Even better than the chocolate eyes she had made.

‘Murali!’ It was never a good sign when Amma used his full name. ‘How many times have I told you NOT to meddle with the things I’ve made for my Yummy Scrummy orders? I was in such a spot when I found that you had taken all the chocolate eyes I had made for my Peace Conference Cake.’

Oh, so that’s what those strange red chocolates were! ‘Sorry, Amma. I didn’t know that those ugly chocolates were part of your cake,’ said Mooli.

‘What was it that you carried so carefully in that cardboard box then?’ asked Appa. ‘Because you left the two Mammoth Books of Fast Facts behind.’

‘I know,’ Mooli took another puri. His fifth. ‘Did you know that Soups’ parents bought the very same set of books for her? And she took them out of that big box on the very first day. And finished reading them in one week. Page 1 to Page 1,000 of Mammoth Facts. Like it was a storybook or something.’

‘Soups is a brilliant girl. And she’s so nice too. But you are clever too, Mooli. In your own way,’ said Amma.

‘Yes, clever in your own meddling way,’ added Appa.

‘I know,’ agreed Mooli cheerfully. ‘I’m the one who always has to come up with all the ideas for all the tricks and stunts for Wayouts.’

‘Then perhaps you could explain this. One of your ideas, no doubt,’ Appa held up his tie. Though he had been angry at that time, he was smiling now. It was difficult to stay angry with Mooli.
