While reading The Best Nest by P.D. Eastman, we kept wondering why Mrs. Bird was so irritable and angry. When at the end of the book, we saw a smiling Mrs. Bird with her newly laid egg, Vedu said to me quite wisely, “No wonder she was angry! She was pregnant all this time!”
Well, I was not surprised since she comes up with accurate predictions every month with an all-knowing look on her tiny face—“Period starting huh? Not very difficult to see.” I normally never knew if I should be proud or ashamed, until one day, I saw her staring into the distance, deep in thought.

Me: What are you thinking of baby?
Vedu (with the same far-off look): Men wish to be women. But they don’t know the sufferings women go through.
Me: What? Who is telling you all this?
Vedu: My brain.

Yeah! I really need to get my PMS under control. No other explanation for this. :-/
