Horse Cane

We were at Matheran shopping souvenirs. There is a soft horse cane that is a signature take away.

I showed Vivaan and Rayna that as soon as Vivaan said he wanted it, Rayna to followed, louder.

After handing over it to them, Mom asked both what it was:

Vivaan: I know it is a Horse Cane.

Rayna: Horse Cane? What is a horse cane, how do you use this?
(holding the stick, looking at it, and moving it around)

So Mom joked, she said 'this is a stick to wack kids when they don't do their homework', and she turned around looking away from Rayna.

Within the next second, I hear a Zap of the cane and Reshma shouting in pain 'Aaaaaaaa'.
As soon as I looked to Rayna, she questioned:

'Like this?, Is this the way this cane has to be used?

Hath jodu chu ...

Kids are very alert and aware of their surroundings. They grasp and catch-up to things very fast.

Not only do they adopt the actions or words they are exposed to, but they very smartly link the context it is being played in.

Rayna for the past few days, whenever she wants something and doesnt get it in the first attempt, she joins her hands and say 'please give that to me, hu mara hath jodu chu...'.

Meaning, I join my hand and request you to do that thing for me, fast.
