Mother: Drink your Complan.

Son: No! I want only Sachin's Boost as it is the secret of my energy.

Mother: Study your Hindi lesson for today's class test. You always forget the names.

Son: They are easy, Ma. The names are Vinod (Kambli) and Ramesh (Sadagopan).

Mother: What about your maths? Tell me the definition of rectangle, cylinder, sphere, cone and square.

Son: The rectangle is the pitch, ball is a sphere, stumps are cylindrical and the signal to the third umpire by the umpire is a square.

Mother: Have a bath and eat your breakfast quickly.

Son:( biting into a sandwich) I don't want butter in my bread. I want to be jammy like Rahul Dravid.

Mother: Take care of your little brother on the way to school.

Son: Bye ma, I am taking Nikhil (Chopra) with me.

Returning from school.

Mother: How much did you get in today's C.T.?

Son: I scored 10 runs in 10 balls in my maths C.T. But Hindi C.T. has been postponed as it was time for drinks.

Mother: Son, you are incorrigible.

Son: Yes Ma, I eat, sleep and study only cricket.
