*An Instructive Joke for Parents*

Suddenly a utensil was broken by the housemaid.

The mistress shouted in anger: "Haramzadi! What have you done?"

The child standing nearby asked innocently: "Mummy! What does 'Haramzadi' mean?"

The mother, thinking that the child might learn a swear word, diverted the topic and said: "Son! It means 'Healthy'."

The next day, another utensil was broken by the maid.

The mistress again abused in anger: "Kamini! Broken the utensil again?"

The child immediately asked: "Mummy! What does 'Kamini' mean?"

The mother replied immediately: "Son! It means 'Weak'."

A few days later, the child's maternal grandmother (Nani) fell ill. The child went with his mother to visit the grandmother, looked at her carefully and spoke with great innocence:

"Mummy! Nani Jan was so 'Haramzadi' (healthy) before, now after falling ill, how 'Kamini' (weak) she is becoming!"

*Lesson*: Always use correct and polite words in front of children. The consequence of speaking wrongly and explaining the wrong meaning is in front of you.
