TV can be so useful, to ‘baby sit’ the girls, and for the girls to pick up new words, some of it good and some may not. And I also saw a lot of reaction from the girls, which in normal day to day life may not surface.<\/p>\n
Zara being the sensitive girl, held my hand tight with tears forming in her eyes when she first watched Mulan and heard Mulan singing the song Reflection<\/a>.<\/p>\n ~~~~~~~~~~~ . ~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n My sister told me when we missed the return ferry out of Pulau Ketam<\/a>, Zara kept saying, “My mummy will kill me.”<\/span> to my sister. When I asked her where she learnt that from? ~~~~~~~~~~~ . ~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n Zara asked Daddy, “Daddy, do you know what is San Diego?”<\/span> ~~~~~~~~~~~ . ~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n When she saw her cousin’s lantern which is a horse with wings (I would have called it that), she said, “I want to play with the flying pegasus lantern.”<\/span> ~~~~~~~~~~~ . ~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n And we have Zaria, watching the war scene in Mulan, shouting excitedly, “Oh Gosh. Oh Gosh. Oh Gosh.”<\/span> o.O<\/p>\n She also started calling Daddy, “Papa”<\/span>. Obviously, picked up from Mulan too.<\/p>\n
\nZara said, “Ariel (from the Little Mermaid) said that when she missed her concert (musical debut). She said her daddy will kill her.”<\/span>
\no.O (Thanks Ariel)<\/p>\n
\nDaddy replied, “It’s a city in America.”<\/span>
\nZara said, “San Diego is a beach with lots of sand.”<\/span>
\nI looked at her and said, “How do you know?”<\/span>
\nZara said, “The zebra in that zoo show<\/a> said so.”<\/span><\/p>\n
\n(This she picked up from Barbie’s Magic of the Pegasus<\/a> show).<\/p>\n
