One of my favourite pastime is to grill Samy about his future plans. In case you are wondering it has something to do with his choice of career, I must say you will be highly disappointed. The talks I indulge in always has something to do with his marriage and the aftermaths. 
One such conversation that happened over the dinner table.
Me (sporting my usual evil mom mask): Tell me how many kids do you want?
Samy (with a monk like blissful expression on his face): 8! 4 girls and 4 boys.
Me (very amused and thinking the fate of my future DIL): Why????
Samy: I don’t want my kids to grow up all alone. I want each of them to have their own best friend. I like the number 4 and I will have to get each of my kid a best friend…hence the total number of 8 kids to make a perfect family.
Me (a little dizzy with the logic): But that will not leave you or your wife, with much time to do things you love. You guys will have to cook, clean and feed the kids. And not to forget, how hard you will have to work to make all that money to take care of such a Humongous family.
Samy (I swear he was looking exactly like Calvin when he said this): Oh don’t worry about us. I will be taking her for long drives while you can stay at my home; cooking and taking care of my kids. I am sure they will love your food just the way I do.
Me (heartbroken and depressed but hoping that the husband is destined for a similar fate too): So Papa will be still working in an office to earn all the money for your family?
Samy (his face was now looking like those heart shaped balloons you get on Valentines Day): Na!! he can rest all day in a hammock reading books or playing video games. And you can feed him whatever he wishes for.
Is there any blogger friend of mine, with a heart out there? Who is willing to take me under their roof in a decade or so? Because I am already oh so busy planning to runaway 
Thts one intelligent kid i say!! As a good blogger vampire uncle I will make sure you never escape frm tht Salmo-house!
Hahaha …So 8 babies equals zillions of diapers for yakshi to chnge…haha whta brilliant plan Salmo!! Im so proud of ya!!
Oh yeah..i hope u remember wht happend to those innocent ppl who came to meet him in tht movie “secret window”? He is a weirdo, i tell ya!
I think what Sammy meant is that papa would made all the money by then to feed the entire clan and all you have to do is supervise the maids for other things and cook for the family
I still think the deal between us works well, given that Chirpy has to agree to 8 kids that is
and you know never know saks…tomorrow this girl might change your boys mind 
hahahaha
Madam Nu, can you please explain why you dont have your blog linked to your gravatar ever?? Its quite difficult to find my way to your blog otherwise you know! So kindly oblige, thank you very much!
ahahahaha here you go lady
click click click !
that is one demanding mom I say !
Ha ha ha ha, that was awesome Saks.. must say Sonny is one hell of a dude
Ha ha ha! what a logic to have 4 boys and 4 girls for children, I say! Smart bwaay Samy!!
. And Saksy (granny)mumma, you had better start visiting more food blogs just so you’re equipped enough for your future grand-children 
BTW, I love love love your header and this theme looks gorgeous here
LOL! Samy sure has his future all sorted out
8 kids! His poor wife 
Saks, You better start preparing now. Don’t you also need a house big enough to fit 4 adults and 8 children
And a hammock 
And I thought I was weird.. I too want at least 3 or 4 kids ys.
The young one is very intelligent.. I admire him kudos..
But I like papa’s life games and all wow how I want all that…. All I need is well you know…. He h hehe he
yeah, we know ! You should consult a doc for that !
ha ha ha come on in here but ensure that you don’t let your destination out. Because my L’lle one is already turning out to be a handful
pssst you can take care of him while am in office and pssst you don’t mind cooking na? I am sure we’ll also love it 
absolutely natural and great plans !!!!
U shud be glad he dint say 4 wives also
Whattay logic Sammy boy! Am proud of u
And look at how much he luvs u and ur cooking
Saks…come to my home….anyway, I’ll be all free after my girls leave home choosing their own careers (now, thats what they say, as of now)
I’ll feed u idly, sambar and milagai podi. 
But, I appreciate my bday buddy for his logical thinking and reasoning for things to happen 2 decades later…WOW !!!
Hugs Sammy !!! 
That monk well understands your evil mask Saksee…..
Smart kid he is. God bless.
Bahut pyaar aa raha hai mujhe us par
What are you complaining about? It is the perfect plan and you are always welcome in our house if you need to pactice for the future
Saks, why do you even take up topics of marriage and its aftermath for discussion with kids in the first place ??? Here I am, trying to save all the men from marriage and women and you, over there, are making him think about marriage and also 8 kids !!!!! chekkanu adu thanne paniyundaavullu, after marriage !!
He should probably stay in trivandrum; I guess, by then, there would be a lot of (ahem ahem) shops opened !! 
But even then, seriously, I pity his wife already ! Wonder what IHM has got to say about this !
Goddamn it, he stole my thunder.
He just said everything I wanted to say.
Actually Saks…it serves you right for asking him such a question when he is 8 years old
He is totally sorted….I gotta give you that. Give the kids to the mommy to take care of, also the house, and go for long drives with wife and let daddy rest in hammock!
He is DEFINITELY your son alright!!! ….And this is nothing yet! Wait till he enters teenage!!
Eight kids…. Ohh poor wife… Don’t you think she deserves those long drives and the holidays…. You should be willing to help saks….
Sakshi my mind is unable to grasp just why u ask questions like that….this is like “Vaddi koduthu adi vaangikunna parupaadi”
My kids are already planning to stay close by after they get married.
Reason: everytime their kid does potty they are going to bring them over to me to wash the bum;-/
Ohh I can so imagine you changing diapers while singing to them
But I must say I liked the reason why he wanted to have so many kids
p.s: Beautful, beautiful header….I can sit for hours and stare at it!!!!!
8 kids….that would really make an interesting family and mom would have to be a good mom as narrated by intelligent hubby
his logic great… family + friends in family itself
And a great work for you too in future… great planning
I just pasted the image code at the end after planning.. but its not getting displayed
any other thing to add??????
I think you should start practicing NOW…get on with it…go make make more babies
Lol:)..lovely conversation…came here surfing and loved the post..
