Is this juice?

Now Nischal is tall enough that he can almost pee standing up at the commode.
So, dad got creative: He started making Nischal stand on his feet - so he could reach the proper height.

But dad didn't count on the fact that Nischal could now see things in quite a different light.
So, the first day Nischal pops the question pointing in the commode.
    - "ಪಪ್ಪಾ , ಇದು ಆರೆಂಜ್ ಜೂಸ್ ಆ ? " ( " Papa - is this orange juice? " )
Dad - having visions of Nischal dipping a straw - quickly, and emphatically said "NO!"  

Nischal had a day to mull over it.
Next day comes another question:
 - "ಪಪ್ಪಾ, ಇದು ಬೇರೆ ಜೂಸ್ ಆ? " ( " Pappa - is this some other juice? " )
The hapless dad again went "ಅಲ್ಲಾ, ಅದು ಯಾವ ತರಹದ ಜೂಸ್ ಅಲ್ಲ!" ( "NO! .. thats not any kind of juice!" )
He stopped short of mentioning straws - realizing just in time that his horrific vision might get implemented if he did.

Now, he just makes sure straws from the restaurant never come home.
