The girls get along perfectly most of the time. Enjoying the same TV shows, playing the same iPad games, singing the same songs, playing the same silly self created games.<\/p>\n

There are times when they tease or annoy each other, especially on long car journeys. And common complaints we get are :
\n“Maa, jiejie is annoying me.”<\/span>
\n“Maa, jiejie spit at me.”<\/span>
\n“Mum, Zaria doesn’t want to share the arm rest”<\/span>
\n“Mum, Zaria copying (immitating) everything I say.”<\/span>
\nI normally ignore them, until they get physical with each other, and start punching each other<\/strike> pushing and shoving.<\/p>\n

For every movie that they watch together, they like to identify who is which character in the show. E.g.
\nPowerpuff girls.
\nZara : Zaria, Jiejie is Blossom, you are Butter Cup because you always frown.<\/span><\/p>\n

Alice In Wonderland the movie.
\nZara : I’m the White Queen.<\/span>
\nZaria Jiejie said I’m the Red Queen.<\/span><\/p>\n

And then sometmes they cannot agree with each other.
\nZaria : Why jiejie always want me to be the villian<\/span>
\nZara : Ya.. because you always get angry.<\/span><\/p>\n

Zara is also constantly reminding Zaria she’s the jiejie. E.g.
\nZaria : (asking me) Why you didn’t buy for Zara?<\/span>
\nZara : It’s jie jie ok. not Zara.. you need to call me jiejie.<\/span><\/p>\n

I like listening to their conversation with each other, it can be quite entertaining. I caught these few.<\/p>\n

The girls were reading about Sleeping Beauty, and this version started with the King inviting 12 wise women to the party to celebrate the birth of the pricess.
\nZaria : (referring to the picture in the story) How come there’s only women in the party and no boy except the King?<\/span>
\nZara : Have you heard of men being wise? Only women are wise, that’s why there are only wise women to invite.<\/span><\/p>\n

Zara was meant to go to MIL’s place while Zaria was attending Yamaha JMC class, but she decided she wanted to stay home, so she called MIL.
\n(MIL speaks only Cantonese and Mandarin)
\nZara : (on the phone) \u6211\u4e0d\u8981\u53bb\u4f60\u7684\u5bb6\u4e86\u3002\u6211\u8981\u5728\u5bb6\u505a\u6211\u81ea\u5df1\u7684\u4e1c\u897f (I don’t want to go to your house, I want to stay home to do my own things). Bye bye.<\/span>
\nZaria : \u518d\u89c1 (zai-jian), you should say \u518d\u89c1 (zai-jian). Bye is English. Mama cannot speak English.<\/span>
\nZara : Every body can understand bye ok? Even if you don’t understand English.<\/span>
\nZaria : (enlightened) Oh<\/span><\/p>\n

Zara joined in the school Bahasa Malaysia singing contest and got 2nd place, so she brought home a silver trophy.
\nZara showed Zaria the trophy and told her about her contest.
\nZaria : Wah. Jie, good…. you got a trophy.<\/span>
\nThen she continued : But jie, how come your trophy is silver and not gold?<\/span>
\nZara : Because I got 2nd place. If you get 1st place, your trophy will be gold.<\/span>
\nZaria : (another enlightenment) Oh<\/span><\/p>\n

But the 2nd day, when Zara is not around.
\nZaria : Ma, you know, I don’t like jiejie’s trophy. Jiejie’s trophy is silver.. I like a gold one<\/span>
\nMe : Next time when you are standard 1.. you go to jiejie’s primary school.. you go on stage to sing and get the gold trophy ok?<\/span>
\nZaria : I’ll go on stage.. but I won’t sing.. I’ll snatch the gold trophy from the \u6821\u957f (headmaster)<\/span> o.O”<\/p>\n

If only every day is like this.. (the littlest one is my bestie’s daughter Maya).
