Being 'Daddy' :-)

Just remembered a funny incident today… few mths ago some of Ria’s frnds had come home to play with her… Ria calls me Daddy or Dadda….n I later realized tht all her frnds addressed their father as Baba or by some other similar nomenclature… these kids were at home for almost 3 4 hrs…. throughout their play there were times when Ria would have called me up for something… even whn they asked Swapna for something she just told her “go n ask daddy”… after some time I decided to join them for some fun… after a few minutes one of her friends wanted something frm me… she came up to me n said “ae daddy I want tht toy… will u pass on the toy…” one other kid was “ae daddy pl put on the cartoons”… later on almost all these kids started addressing me as Daddy… amused I realized these kids thought tht this man is to be addressed by the name “Daddy”… till the time they were at home I was addressed as Daddy by all the kids… we were all very amused… I told Swapna if their parents were to listen to this m sure they would be damn embarrassed… then the time came for me to drop them… one of the kids announced “chalo everyone… Daddys gonna drop us all at home…” smiling I packed them all in the car n decided to treat them on the way…. We went to an ice cream shop…. And as everyone went in it was my time to get embarrassed as all kids stated shouting “Daddy I want chocolate” “daddy I want strawberry” n so on… everyone present there gave me weird n stunned look as almost all kids had made their ‘Daddy’ tht day… I just shrugged paid d bill n dropped them all 
