How would you feel if we told you we enjoy repetitive questioning?

How would you feel if you saw tacos filled with green beans?
How would you feel if you saw tacos filled with black beans but no sour cream?
How would you feel if you saw an electric guitar with pedals that help it resonate?
How would you feel if you saw a man tuning strings that hit the hammer inside of a piano?

How would you feel if you saw a piano with three pedals to control treble, bass, and volume?
How would you feel if you saw a piano that uses no electronics but can be made to sound louder without using buttons?


What do you like better? Corn tortillas or wheat tortillas? Why?

What do you like better? Electric guitar or a piano? Why?


Baba was watching this interaction between Aai and Aditya.   Aai not only joined Aditya by answering his "how would you feel if you saw" questions, she even enthusiastically introduced the idea of speaking from behind an invisible voice-twisting machine as she answered his questions. The result was a child who was finding her "predictable and controllable as objects" but "way too creative" unlike objects.
