One Being 'Geen'

I spoke with my sister and my niece a month a go (Yes. I have spoken with them since then). Riah's favourite colour is green, she wears "geen" and loves to eat "geen" vegetables. Everything "geen" is wonderful.

My sister made stuffed karela (bitter gourd) for dinner that day. Riah was all excited about eating a new "geen" vegetable. "I eat geen" she declared to me on the phone. So as I'm speaking to my sister, Riah takes a bite of the karela and spits it out. "This no geen! No geen!" she started to cry. "I wan bhindi. Bhindi geen."

Ah the sweetness of child-logic.
