<\/a>One of Zara’s favourite book<\/a> was about Jojo a baby who likes to play with his food instead of eating it. Every time when Zara misbehaves, we’ll ask her if she’s yai-yai (Chinese: naughty in a mild form) like Jojo. Actually Jojo isn’t really naughty, just playful, but it was appropriate to use this to teach Zara.<\/p>\n

A few days ago<\/u><\/strong>
\nTuyam told me this conversation took place when she was looking after Zara, and Zara was throwing her toys in a tantrum.
\nTuyam : You naughty huh? You Jojo?<\/span>
\nZara : Za-ah!<\/span>
\nTuyam : You not Zara, you naughty, you Jojo!<\/span>
\nZara : *pointed to her chest* Za-ah!<\/span>
\nTuyam : You Jojo!<\/span>
\nZara : *kicked her legs, about to cry, pointed to her chest* Za-ah!<\/span>
\nTuyam : Ok Ok, you Zara, not Jojo.<\/span><\/p>\n

This morning<\/u><\/strong>
\nI was changing to my work clothes and Daddy was in the shower. Zara walked into the bathroom, and started tapping the shower screen.<\/p>\n

Me: (while adjusting my clothes) Zara, what are you doing?
\n<\/span>No response from the bathroom, so I went to check on her, guess what I saw? Zara had her hands in the toilet bowl playing with the water! *YUCKS*
\nMe: *rushed to her and slapped her hands* <\/span>
\nZara, yai yai!
\nMummy told you cannot touch that!
\nIt’s big people’s potty!
\nThe poo poo goes in there!!
\nVery dirty!
\nZara touched it, get germs, then stomach PAIN PAIN!
\n<\/span>(Had to say the above phrase by phrase, so she could understand)
\nZara: *clapped her hands* beat!<\/span>
\nMe: *scooped her up* Yeah, mummy beat beat Zara because Zara yai-yai! <\/span>
\nZara: *stared at me* (I think she knows she’s at fault)
\n<\/span>Me: *brought her to the sink* Now your hands are dirty, must wash hands! <\/span>
\nZara obediently let me wash her hands. After cleaning her up, I brought her out of the room.
\nZara : *pointed to her mini library* Jojo! *clapped her hands* Beat!
\n<\/span>Me: Yes! Zara yai yai like Jojo lo, that’s why mummy beat beat! Next time don’t be yai-yai any more ok?<\/span><\/p>\n

Not sure if she understood my ‘long lacture’ in the bathroom and will not pull that stunt again, but she definitely knows how to relate to Jojo.<\/p>\n
