How to ask for roller-skates

Conversation at the table at lunch between grandson and grandmother: [Grandmother visiting daughter's family and spending some useful sessions with grandson, reading stories from MahAbhArata]
Grandson: See pAtti, you have spilt rice on the table.
Grandmother: Oh sorry, dear. (laughing)...I must have learnt it from you.
Grandson: Then where is my gurudakshiNa?
Much later in a whisper: pAtti, perhaps you can get me a pair of roller skates as gurudakshiNa?
