Situation: The day we are leaving Darjeeling. Lots of packing to be done, stuff can't be found, everybody in a cranky mood and everyone and everything is being shouted at. In the middle of all this....
Me: Hey, Wish. Throw out the 3 day-old water from the bottle.
Wish picks up the bottle from the table, walks towards the wastepaper basket and throws the bottle in!!
Me (full of exasperation): Not the bottle you fool, I said throw out the water.
By now, everyone has stopped whatever they're doing and watching Wish. She takes the bottle out of the dustbin, unscrews the lid and empties the contents in the wastepaper basket.
The whole room resounds with laughter with Wish standing and watching us with this real, confused expression.
