You asked for it, amma!

Just before going to amma's place, we stopped by the supermarket for some groceries.. when we bought Thytus and Nixon the Rubik Cube each.

I asked Nixon, “Do you know how to play this?”
“Yes..” and he turned one row of the cube twice.
Then, he turned it back. “See, I told you I know how to do it!”

I took the cube from him and said, “No, you have to jumble it more..” as I turned two rows ONLY (knowing Nixon) and gave it back to him. And easy enough, he did it again!

Amma calls me this morning and asks me, “You remember the coloured cube you gave the boys..”
“Yeah..”
“Do you know how to solve it? I remember you did it once..”
“Don’t tell me you jumbled his cube?” *big laugh*
“Yalah..”

When he got to amma’s place yesterday, she watched Nixon play and noticed that he didn’t jumble the cube much. She took the cube and jumbled it terribly and gave it back to him, “This is how you do it.. now try to solve this..”

He tried, but was not able to solve the puzzle.. as it was terribly jumbled. He gave it back to amma and bugged her to solve it.. not allowing her to go to bed!

Somehow he ended up sleeping with the cube unsolved..

But, in the morning, he didn’t let amma go. He gave her the cube and asked her to bring it along with her to office to work on it! And that’s why I got her call to help her solve it...

Unfortunately, I don’t know how to solve the cube. All I could do was laugh at her and told her that she’s in BIG trouble and that he will not let her go.

Should you have known him by now, amma.. You asked for it! *laugh, rolling on the floor* You either get someone to solve it, or get a new one for him.
