(Inday was the unseen and imaginary wife of one of the children here. The older boys always tease the youngest in the group that "Inday" will stay near him if he does not eat his food. Sometimes the other boys fabricate stories like 'Inday was an invisible doctor who has an injection and will use it to children who are bad...or Inday would stay close watching him until he finishes his food...' They tell these stories just to let the boy eat his viand which is most of the time vegetables.)
