Comedy of Terrors, Act II, Sc. 1

(The boy is on a provision shopping expedition with his dad.)
Boy: Appa, I dont want ice cream. It will itch.
Appa: Good.
Boy: Appa, I dont want chocolate either.
Appa: Very good.
Boy: But Appa, please get an ice cream for Vaava. Chocolate too.
(The dad delves into the freezer box for an icecream.)
Boy: Appa, take one for me too.
***
(The boy sights a Play Dough pack next. He picks it up unheeding his dad's no-no and proceeds with it under the arm to the lady at the billing counter.)
Lady Cashier: Hey, wasnt it just last week that you bought one and went home?
Boy: That one? Appa broke it!

(Note: "it" refers to the dough-kneading instrument. And no, the Boy wasnt lying. His dad broke it while trying to squeeze out some hardened dough.)
