Six year old kid's point of view - school and college

An incident narrated by my sister in law ( SIL ) in Chennai who used to teach at MOP Vaishnav College. One of the other professors used to get her six year old kid (daughter)to the college on few Saturdays especially during culturals and stuff, it seems. Once my SIL had a chocolate in her hand, and the conversation goes as:

SIL : "Unnakku school pidikuma illa college pidikuma ?"
(Translation: Do you like school or college? )

Kid : "College".

SIL : "Yen, school yen pidikaadhu?"
(Translation: Why don't you like school?)

Kid : "Ippo enna, school pidichurku nu sonna dhaan andha chocolate aa tharuvela ?? "
(Translation: Now what?? Only if I say I liked school more - are you gonna give me that chocolate ?? )

Dumbfounded with the answer, SIL handed over the chocolate to her

SIL : "Now tell me why do you like college more?"

Kid : There is always some music or dance program going on in college, unlike school where I have to study.
