Experiments

Little one ill and I tell her "If you lie down, your fever will get better".

Naturally, she spends the whole day running about, doing everything else besides lying down while giving me periodic updates "See mommy, running didn't get me bukhar", "Jumping didn't get me bukhar" "I was playing in the yard but I am no bukhar" etc...

Till she exhausts herself and lies down on the bed. I go to her and say, "Look you have more fever now".

So, "I think mommy, sleeping on bed gives me bukhar".

 Need to tell her experiments must be designed very carefully.

 Being a nice mom, I decide to offer her warm drinks while she is ill.

She enjoys the first sips of warm lemonade with "This feels really nice, I love you mommy" and then gets distracted with something else. By the time she returns to her lemonade, its cooled off.

Come evening, I give her another glass of warm water to drink. She takes it and after some time, I see her kneeling before the glass staring at it intently.

 "What are you doing?", I ask her.

 "I am trying to see where all the hot goes"
