Younger son now corrects my Marathi at the vegetable market

He has done Marathi at school since he was small, and at some point this year my class 7 son decided I need supervision. Yesterday I asked the bhaji-wali for something and he whispered the right word to me before she could react. On the way home I got a short lesson on everything I've been saying wrong for years. I've lived in Pune a long time and thought I got by perfectly well. Turns out I've been politely tolerated ❤️
