Face the music

Bunnu: Violence is bad, right Amma ?
Me: Yes.  Why ?
Bunnu: In school, I heard a violence song.  It was in Hindi.  My teacher played it on CD
Me: What ?!
Bunnu:  Here, let me sing it for you
(hollers at ear-drum-shattering pitch)
Sheela Kills Bavani ... Sheela Kills Bavaaaani !

Wondering if I should:
1) Let the status quo be - better than the actual lyrics
2) Provide him with the correct lyrics - which would immediately be followed by translation requests
3) Attempt a Master Dinanath-esque Ahimsa dialogue

  4. welcome back. the best way to handle this would be to tell him the correct lyrics is 'sheelaa kee bhavaanii' (the aspirated version of b) and they are two bffs professing undying love for each other.

    another option is to say it is 'sheelaa kejwaani' who is a sindhi girl who is dancing. :)

    i love 4 year olds. they unleash my creativity. :)

    Hands are not too great - hence not replying to individual comments
