I’m amused and at the same time finding myself out of wits handling the little one. See the things she said.<\/p>\n
Daddy asked her to share a piece of cake she’s eating, she said, “This is a girl’s cake, boys cannot eat.”<\/span><\/p>\n Zara complained to me that Zaria took a piece of dough I gave her. Zara said, “Naughty Zaria, took my dough”<\/span> Sometimes I mixed the girls’ name up, and a few times when Zara did something wrong, I raised my voice and said, “ZARIA! Don’t do that.”<\/span> While poking my belly button, she saw my laproscopy scar. She looked concerned, “Tssss. Mummy, what happened?”<\/span> She asked me to read a book to her, I told her I can’t because I was having a fever. Daddy was asking Zaria why she broke a basket at home in the car, and when we arrived our destination, she refused to hold Daddy’s hand, she said, “I’m not going to friend you any more. Because you say something bad about me.”<\/span><\/p>\n o.O” o.O” o.O”<\/p>\n
\nZaria explained to us, “No. I’m not naughty. Jiejie left it there (at the sink), so I take.”<\/span><\/p>\n
\nZaria would quickly correct me, “It’s not Zaria, it’s Zara.”<\/span><\/p>\n
\n“Mummy, had an operation last time.<\/span>
\n“Painful or not? Let me sayang. *blow the spot* Better? *kiss the spot* The doctor just now ampoo-tait (amputate) you?”<\/span>
\n(for her, anything that happened in the past is ‘just now’)<\/p>\n
\n“Then, I read myself.”<\/span>
\nShe took a book, and pretended to flip the pages. “Once upon a time, the mummy is having a tem-pee-cher (temparature), the jiejie is coloring, the mei mei is covering her (face with a) book, the aunty is cooking, the daddy is working. The end.”<\/span><\/p>\n
