Zara is aware\u00a0you say the verb differently\u00a0for past tense, and is also aware of comparatives and superlatives<\/a>, conciously or not. And here\u00a0are few of\u00a0her attempts lately playing with the English Grammar :<\/p>\n

“Mummy I cry-ded<\/strong><\/em><\/em> just now”<\/span> (Mummy I cried just now)
\n“I stand-ded<\/strong><\/em> and watered the plant”<\/span> (I stood and watered the plant)
\n“I want to make the plant grower and grower<\/strong><\/em>“<\/span> (I want to make the plant grow bigger and bigger)
\n“I brushed my teeth already, now my breath is small smelly<\/strong><\/em> only”<\/span> (I brushed my teeth already, now my breath is a little bit smelly only)<\/p>\n

Terror huh? Her English?<\/p>\n

Some other ‘good’ conversations.<\/p>\n

Me : *pointed to a fly in the living room floor* Girl look, a fly!<\/span>
\nI tried to kill the fly by smacking it, but the fly flew away every time my hand almost landed on it.
\nZara : *excitedly* Mum, the fly can perform tricks!!<\/span><\/p>\n

We were in my sis’ place and Zara has taken her milk and used up the milk powder we brought from home. While trying to get her to nap,
\nZara : Mummy I want to drink milk<\/span>
\nMe : You already drank your milk. We have no more milk for you.<\/span>
\nZara : I want milk!<\/span>
\nMe : Do you want Norman’s kor kor’s milk then?<\/span>
\nZara : Norman kor kor has no breasts! I want powder milk<\/span>
\nAiyo, I actually meant drinking my nephew, Norman’s, growing up milk and she thought I’m asking her to drink from Norman’s breast!<\/p>\n

At bed time, Daddy getting ready to sleep on his side of the bed.
\nZara : Daddy, you cannot sleep here. You go sleep there (pointing to the matress the confinement day used to sleep on<\/a>) This is women’s bed, men’s bed is there!<\/span>
\nJust because Daddy slept on that mattress a few\u00a0nights after the CL has left to make night feeds easier for me, Zara thought he no longer can sleep on our bed.<\/p>\n
