Toto is getting more and more chatty by the day.. loads of never ending questions, some of which are really quite hard to answer! And it's now v fun to converse with her, cos I get more than just yes/no/two/three word answers!
One memorable conversation which took place abt 1 mth ago, while i was reading a chinese book which she has read many times with my in laws, but which I have never read -
Me : Is this dog ABC (name in chinese)?
Toto : Nooooo *wags index finger at me* Mummy, not correct! That is XYZ (another chinese name). Yi2 Yi2 laugh at Mummy.. HA HA HA *proceeds to laugh at me with her mouth wide open*
The other conversation happened just today -
Toto : Mummy, itchy. poke. poke. *points at her calf where there is a fresh mozzie bite*
Me : Oh dear, the mosquito bit you again?
Toto : Naughty mosquito! Mosquito dont bite yi2 yi2. Go away! Dont come back!
She has also progressed to the rather exasperating stage where she builds qns on top of answers I have given.. eg...
Toto : Where are we going?
Me : Going to gong gong ma ma's house
Toto : Where is Gong gong ma ma's house?
Me : That's at Lorong H** S**
Toto : Where is Lorong H** S**?
Me : *getting exasperated* Far away..
Toto : Where is far away?
Me : It's a place in Singapore.. far from where we stay.
Toto : Where is Singapore?
Me : *losing it slightly* In South East Asia
Toto : Where is South East Asia?
Me : Oh look look.. there's a green man/red man there!! *using distraction tactic in a desperate but successful attempt to end the nonstop questioning..*
I wonder what else will come... :)
