Ashwin got a ride-on wooden aeroplane from the toy library this week and promptly became a pilot. After cruising around in his aeroplane for a while, he came to ask me why the aeroplane was not flying.
"This is a toy aeroplane", I told him. "You have to act as if it is flying".
After inspecting it for a while, he came back to me:
"Where is ACT??!"
I tried to explain further, "Act is a verb Ashwin, it is not on the aeroplane" (I can be very helpful, I know!)
"Where is ACT VERB???!!"
I'm giving up: "This is not a real aeroplane, it is just a toy, This can't fly".
"I want a real aeroplane"
Of course he does!

So, ask his dad to get him one
I am somehow reminded of the MAX whatever life insurance AD :) It goes like this.
Baby says "Papa"
Daddy gets very excited (apparently baby's first words). Daddy says "Banana bolo"
Baby repeats "ba-na-na"
Daddy says "Bolo beta czechoslovakia"
Baby makes a monkey face to over ambitious Daddy :)
