Ms Pandey, Mama and Daddy went to Chuck-E-Cheese today for a small birthday celebration for her. After the running around and sitting in every feasible ride, we decided to munch on some fries.

After what seemed an eternity, the fries arrived – hot, but thin, hard and sharp.

Just the day before, Mama had had some serious dental work done and the dentist had warned her not to eat any hard food items. But of course, Mama could not resist the plate of fries, took a bite, and realized the mistake.

From then on, Mama was searching for the soft ones and devouring them.

Ms Pandey was nibbling them at her own pace. While nibbling on a new one, she suddenly stops and extends the fries to Mama: “Mama, have this one instead – this one is very soft, you need these”.
