Kapaki

My 1 year 7 months old niece (aka Puttudu on Full Meals) and I were busy arranging building blocks (our favorite game) today. While building a particularly difficult tower we heard crackers being burst. Her eyes widened when she heard 'dham dham'

Me: (sounding excited) Yenadu? (translated: What is it?)
Puttudu: grins and says "dham dham dhamaar"
Me: yes correct. Thats pataaki. say 'pa'
Puttudu: 'pa'
Me: 'taa'
Puttudu: 'taaaaaa'
Me: 'ki'
Puttudu: ki
Me: Pataaki
Puttudu: Kapaki

and thus began the Kapaki chant.
This is just the beginning of my deepavali celebration with Puttudu. I am loving it!

All you lovely people have fun. I wish you a very Happy Deepavali :)
