The old lady...

We were shopping for Kavya's shoes today..I was trying to find a shoe that will easily slide into Kavya's feet no matter how crooked she keeps her feet !!! And she was blabbering something..Then suddenly one old American lady comes to Kavya and says Hi...Kavya loves when someone says hi..Kavya says Hi and begins to sway from left to right..

OL : Whats your Name ?
Kavya : Sways from left to right..Smiles..Waves and says Hi..
OL : Ok, Hi..but what's your name ?
Kavya : Sways from left to right..Smiles..Waves and says Hi..
Me : She knows to say only Hi at this point..
OL : Oh yea, You should teach her , her name...Anyways, whats her name..
Me : (OMG !!!) She's Kavya

OL : blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

OL : Turns to Kavya Tell your dad and mom that you will not do an arranged marriage...You are an American and you have the right to choose whoever you want to marry..be it white or pink or red !
Me : Wheres this going !!
Kavya : Shakes her index finger and says Noooooooo
OL : Thats right, no arranged marriage..
Kavya : Puts her index finger in the mouth and smiles :)

Just wondering...Had I said the same thing to an American baby that he/she should do only arranged marriage, would they have been as polite as I was ? Hmmmmmm...
