On Sunday, I prepared her for bed, and told her she’ll be going to King’s Wife<\/a>‘s place on Monday.
\nMe : Zara likes our house more or Ah Kim’s house more?<\/span>
\nZara : Ah Kim’s house.<\/span>
\nMe : Why?<\/span>
\nZara : Ah Kim’s house got Mr Bean <\/span>(we don’t subscribe to Astro and hence no Mr Bean cartoon at home).
\n…
\nLater in our conversation.
\nMe : Tomorrow Zara bring dinasaur sweet (just bought her some gummies in the shape of dinasaur) to Ah Kim’s house, must share with jiejie yeah?<\/span>
\nZara : Give Sam jiejie dinasaur sweet. Give jiejie Alicia dinasaur sweet.<\/span>
\nMe : Yes. Clever. Must share share ok.<\/span>
\nZara : Ok.<\/span>
\nMe : Can share with Navisha jiejie (King’s Wife’s neighbour who likes to hang around with her girls) or not?<\/span>
\nZara : *tears started flowing down so suddenly* Don’t want. Don’t want give Navisha jiejie. Zara don’t want. <\/span>
\nAiks.. it was time to pacify her and end of conversation.<\/p>\n

We had string beans sprouts (Kuai Dao Miu) for dinner yesterday, while Zara had her own dish. After dinner, my niece Samantha took a bowl of string beans and started eating in the living room.
\nZara saw what Sam was eating, so she asked for some, “Sam jiejie, give Zara beans please”<\/span>
\nI took some from Sam and started feeding Zara, “Zara likes the beans?”
\n<\/span>Zara said, “Like!”<\/span> Then she added, “Jack bean stalk!”<\/span> and laughed at her own joke.<\/p>\n

(Tuyam told me this happened just now)
\nZara was messing around her box of VCDs\/DVDs, trying to take out some of the title sleeves.
\nTuyam : You don’t do that. After mummy scold you.<\/span>
\nZara ignored Tuyam, so Tuyam repeated herself.
\nZara stopped what she was doing and stared at Tuyam, “Zara angry!”<\/span>
\n(She’s very good in bullying the maid, but with me, she will never use such tone and said such things.)<\/p>\n

I was trying to test the water to check if Zara was ready for my upcoming business trip.
\nMe : Zara, can mummy sit airplane and go work work? (That’s what we say when Daddy is away for his business trip).<\/span>
\nZara : Cannot. Daddy go only.<\/span>
\nMe : Why cannot?<\/span>
\nZara : Mummy stay you.<\/span>
\nMe : *don’t understand* Huh? Mummy don’t understand Zara. Can mummy sit airplane and go work work or not?<\/span>
\nZara : Cannot. Mummy stay you.<\/span>
\nMe : *still don’t understand* Why cannot, Zara sleep with kakak, ok or not.<\/span>
\nZara : Cannot. Mummy stay Zara.<\/span>
\n(oh.. I finally got it. She meant “Mummy stay with me”<\/span> when she said “Mummy stay you”<\/span>.)<\/p>\n
