A Boxful of Wrappers!

We all have been recollecting times spent with Akshay. Carolyn recalls one such naughty little anecdote about our cute little man.

When Babli had left Akshay with us in Bangalore, she had bought him a big stock of candies - Mentos of different flavours and some minty candies as well. Our boy would go rummaging in the dabba in which they were kept, and when I caught him digging just before a meal I would yell out "No sweets before dinner!" At which he would laugh mischievously and scurry off. The dabba always looked full, and I used to tease him about some other secret stash because this dabba was full all the time. He would giggle in reply, till one day I lifted the dabba while dusting, the damn thing was so light, but full! I opened it- the naughty boy had been putting the wrappers right back after stuffing the candy in his mouth, so that no one would find out how many he had eaten! We all had a big laugh!
