Ah, the adorable confusion of pronouns. Chetan refers to himself as "you" most of the time. Just recently started to use the pronoun "I" correctly.
The past, present and future tenses are all rolled into one. So, for now we will just see the humour in all the incorrect English and preserve these moments for the years when such adorable mispronunciations and incorrect grammar will seem like an eternity away.

Well, these are great memories to preserve. We all have our own ways of saying things as children. This is however, a good time to correct him and teach right pronouciation.
I am glad that the past week's sickness have not made you lamon sour. Keep up with a good spirit.
