Silly Talk

by | 10 Feb 2017

When he was learning to speak instead of saying I went there my eldest son, Mahir, used to say I goed there. Inspired by his innocent mistake I created two more words tolded and sawed. For example, I tolded you to go to bed but I sawed you playing instead later. Then I saw a t-shirt that said “world’s bestest dad” and I came up with

good, gooder, goodest,
better, betterer, betterest,
best, bester, bestest,
worse, worser, worsest

Till this day, to respond to many of my questions Mahir says, “I don’t know” but he is the only one who should know about it, for example, question: why didn’t you write your journal today. Anyway, my usual response, “You know nothing about nothing, do you?”. As you can see we are enriching the English language as much as we can!

America’s birthday 2022

Last two years we watched fireworks from home, so we went to see the fireworks yesterday at the park about 2.5 miles away from our house. I drove around the park but didn't get any parking, so I double parked on a street next to the park and took a quick video (linked...

Neighborhood Nuisance

It was about 9:30pm on Saturday 17 December 2022, someone knocked our door hard – first I thought it was an Amazon delivery guy but didn’t see anyone or nothing was left on our doorstep. We checked the footage from our security camera and saw someone was running away...

Silent Treatment

We have a comedian at our workplace. One day, during the beginning of my carrier in this place, I asked him if I could check my e-mail from my work computer. He responded, “Go crazy, just keep the pants on”. I didn’t laugh, so he said it again. I just smiled and went...

মাততে পারেনি

যদিও শব্দটার অর্থ জানাছিল তবুও সিলেটী ভাইয়েরা যখন নিজেদের ভাষায় কথা বলেন তখন দুর্বোধ্য শোনায়। তাই যখন আমি আমার ছেলেকে আরবি পড়ার শেষে মসজিদ থেকে আনার সময় অন্য একজন অবিভাবক জিজ্ঞেস করলেন 'মাততে পারেনি' আমি বুঝতে পারিনি। দ্বিতীয়বার যখন বললেন 'ছেলে বাংলায় মাততে পারেনি'।...

ভুল

ভুল বিশ্বাসঘাতকের মুখ দেখতে কেমন হয় আমি ঠিক জানি না কিন্তু কেন যেন মনে হয় দেখতে সুন্দরই হয়। এরা মিষ্টি মিষ্টি কথা বলে আবার মাঝে মাঝে বলে "আমি মিথ্যা বলি না"। বার বছর একসঙ্গে থাকলেও এদের চেনা যায় না আমার তো মনে হয় বারশ বছরেও চেনা যাবে না যদি না এরা নিজেদের স্বরূপ...

AT&T Cheated Me

I complained many times against AT&T, still stayed with them because they gave me good prices for phones. This time they lied to me and I believe I won’t stay with them after my contract is over unless they give me what they promised. First, they sold me Samsung...
