How do you get the over-excited four-year old kid you are traveling with to shut up and let you concentrate on chatting up the attractive girl sitting next to you in the train? (This was a question I faced recently during my vacations when I was traveling with my nephew.)
1)Tell him to shut up: If it was as simple as that, why would I have been asking this question at all?
2)Buy him something to eat: Anything you throw at him would be consumed before you get to say, “Hi,” and then you would have to drop your plans of starting a conversation because you see him swinging from the shelf. Plus, this would leave you poorer by a few bucks every time you try this.
3)Get him something to read: The most a four-year old kid knows is A B C D and a few rhymes and he would make such a loud noise reciting them that you would wish you hadn’t asked him to do it.
4)Give him your music player to listen to: As soon as he gets his hands on it, he would start trying to dismantle it rather than listening to it, forcing you to wrench it away for safe-keeping.
5)Smack him on the head: This will do the trick only if either he is scared enough to obey you or if he starts crying and goes to sleep thereafter. Since you do not know how hard to hit, the kid will most probably start crying – causing a lot of annoyance to you as well as your fellow passengers. Moreover, if he does not go to sleep it was a futile exercise. To top it all, hitting a kid would give a bad impression on the girl.
If any of you has any other ideas, please suggest.

lori suna aur sula de :D
i thought IIT brains are known to be innovative thinkers...would leave the 'finding of a solution' bit to great guys like you!! ;-)
Tough when u have a pesky kid like that by your side. But, dood.. simple solution. Girls love guys who love kids. I mean,
Step 1: try being playful with the kid, buy him something, i.e. anything and everything he asks for, then sing along some rhymes with him, ask him if he wants this biscuit or that chocolate, etc etc etc etc... ANd while u are at it, make sure the girl notices u being so kind and so sweet and so blah blah blah.
Step 2: a while later, hand over the kid to the girl (hope she is sitting right beside u) and pretend to visit the toilet. take your time. and come back and as you hand over the kid back, start ur conversation with.. "hmm aap kahaan tak jaa rahe ho..?"
P.S. : in case the girl asks u if the kid is your son, just don't be shocked. It just means that the girl isn't so impressed by ur acts and has actually seen through all your motives :D
It all comes with experience. True story.
More notes:
most girls will actually understand half way through your antics that you are trying to impress her, but since you are doing it in a decent way (by using the kid), i'm sure most of them will participate in the conversation that follows.
@Muggu: dude, he wud know more loris thn u do n still wont go to sleep.
@Theja: Step 1 was gud enuf 4 me to get her address n contact,Step 2 wasnt required ;)
what was the question again?
If you were really looking for the answer, you wouldn't have posted it in the first place.
Were you asking about "How to use the kid to get to the girl?"
how low can you get? you used a kid?? to get a girls phone no?? chi chi :P
hmmm.....nice try boy..... [:P]
i like wht Ravi told before...girls do like boys who are good wid kids...but let me tell u......instead of using a kid to impress a girl n ask for her phone number.....u can be all smiles.....i mean......happy-go-lucky types.....being funny.....believe me.....agar ladki hansi toh phasi..... [;)]
