One of the best gifts Suppandi received on his birthday this year were the overwhelming number of readers sharing their #SuppandiMoments. He always feels better knowing he’s not the only goofball around. Here are some of the hilarious #SuppandiMoments that readers have shared.
“I had been wearing spectacles for almost eight years before my first trial with contact lenses. When I tried contact lenses for the first time, it felt like the power in my eyes had increased all of a sudden and it frightened me. It took me a while to realize that it was because I was wearing the contacts and specs together. 😂” – Monisha Gangasri
“I do have a Suppandi Moment but it it is understood only in my mother tongue, Telugu. Once I was told that my maternal grandmother’s house was being painted. In Telugu, it is told as ‘vallu sunnalu vesukuntunnaru intiki’. ‘Sunna‘ also means ‘zero’ in Telugu, and I first misunderstood it, and imagined that they were painting zeroes on the walls of their houses. We had a good laugh over it!” – Dhanyata Syrigapu

“When my sister asked for her glasses, I went and brought a glass of water for her. 😂😂” – R. Mukund
“Once when I was small, I was at home with my dad, when my mom, who was at work, called. I answered the phone and we spoke for a few minutes before she told me to hang up the phone. I took a chair and stood upon it to hang the phone up somewhere high. My dad was awestruck!” – Paavani Kulkarni

“Mom once asked me to bring in the washing from the clothes line. I happily did so and even folded all the clothes. It hadn’t bothered me that some of the clothes were still wet. I got a good scolding from my mother.” – Anantha Krishna
