Most weekends, we bring the girls out for meals, or to visit their cousins. Kai-kai (Chinese : Outing) is a must or they’ll complain.<\/p>\n
A typical ‘kai-kai’ trip will take us around 15-20mins to arrive at destination, and the girls sitting at the back in their respective car seat will either entertain us or annoy us.<\/p>\n
Here is a typical peaceful and entertaining car ride, which makes Daddy and I very happy, and glad to have 2 girls who can get along.<\/p>\n
Girls singing nursery rhymes or some sound track from their DVDs. Girls taking turns to be baby, and the one who’s not baby teaching the baby how to speak. Normally, Zaria will be the baby, and repeating what Zara asked her to say. When they do the above, it allows Daddy and I to have a conversation without being interupted, and sometimes we join in their merry making too.<\/p>\n Most of the times, however, the journey is a tiring one with 2 of them bickering away, a typical one will be something like this. And it goes on…….<\/p>\n
\nGirls talking to each other about certain things, and laughing at each other’s silly jokes.
\nE.g
\nZara : What do you call a witch at the beach?… Sandwitch!!<\/span>
\nBoth girls : Ah Hahahaha<\/span>
\n(Repeating dialogue from Backyardigans)<\/p>\n
\nE.g.
\nZara : Baby, says carot<\/span>
\nZaria : *purposely mispronuncing*Keh-yot<\/span>
\nZara : Baby, says mummy<\/span>
\nZaria : Mah-mah.<\/span><\/p>\n
