Sid loves Horlicks. He can have it anytime of the day. This one thing he has taken after me.
Grandma on phone: Sid, how are you?
Sid: I am not fine.
Grandma on phone: (obviously concerned) Why? What happened?
Sid: because (he now answers any "why" question with a because) no Horlicks!
After this incident, my mom makes it a point to check with me if I gave Sid his Horlicks.
Sid now understands that when we visit a friend/relatives house they as good hosts, give us tea/milk. So after a formal 5 minute settling time in a new house, he openly asks where his "Horlicks" is. The host is then obliged to give us one ;-)
