That's what I have been answering for last one month since by mistake (thats what I would call it now) I told him Holi will come in March ....from that time everyday at-least for 3-4 times I had to answer him..
Akku: mama holi aane wali hai
me :yes
Akku:March main
me :yes, 8 march
Akku :8 march?
me :yes
Akku:mama march aa gaya ?
me :no abhi to feb chal raha hai
Akku:(not to leave poor feb alone) februrary main kya hota
me:rolls eyes hmmmm....
now when March came he started
Akku :mama march ho gaya? holi aa gayee ?
me :no abhi aane wali hai aj 1st (or whatever day it is )march hain
akku:abhi 8 march ko holi hai ?
me :yes abhi days hain
akku:2,3,4,5,6,7,8 march fir aayega
me:hmmm
He sees last years holi photos and plan to do the same things again
Akku:main to didi ko khoob sara bhigaunga
me :Ok
akku: aur main sabko colour lagaunga
me :aur mama bhi, aur sab log bhi to lagayegi akku to
akku:no main to apne aap ko bhi colour lagaunga ,sara colour laga lunga (!!!!!)
me :hmmmm..now starts another round of answerning session when i explain him how holi is played
and if I say parso (day after tomorrow) ko holi hain then next question will be "mama parso ho gaya ?"
and finally holi came his joy had no bounds ...but since this being a working day in this part of India, we were wondering will there be holi like last year but thankfully all the children were sailing on the same boat and he had a great dhamakedar holi in the end...the best thing about this holi was that he was not scared and he was in the thick of things ..normally he is quite reserved and he asks me to follow him everywhere but here after initial hicupps he was going for refills himself .. in the middle when one drum of water got over he went to girls section and later when that also finished he was tring to go to swimming pool to get water !!
