On Sunday, I prepared her for bed, and told her she'll be going to King's Wife's place on Monday.
Me : Zara likes our house more or Ah Kim's house more?
Zara : Ah Kim's house.
Me : Why?
Zara : Ah Kim's house got Mr Bean (we don't subscribe to Astro and hence no Mr Bean cartoon at home).
...
Later in our conversation.
Me : 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?
Zara : Give Sam jiejie dinasaur sweet. Give jiejie Alicia dinasaur sweet.
Me : Yes. Clever. Must share share ok.
Zara : Ok.
Me : Can share with Navisha jiejie (King's Wife's neighbour who likes to hang around with her girls) or not?
Zara : *tears started flowing down so suddenly* Don't want. Don't want give Navisha jiejie. Zara don't want.
Aiks.. it was time to pacify her and end of conversation.
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.
Zara saw what Sam was eating, so she asked for some, "Sam jiejie, give Zara beans please"
I took some from Sam and started feeding Zara, "Zara likes the beans?"
Zara said, "Like!" Then she added, "Jack bean stalk!" and laughed at her own joke.
(Tuyam told me this happened just now)
Zara was messing around her box of VCDs/DVDs, trying to take out some of the title sleeves.
Tuyam : You don't do that. After mummy scold you.
Zara ignored Tuyam, so Tuyam repeated herself.
Zara stopped what she was doing and stared at Tuyam, "Zara angry!"
(She's very good in bullying the maid, but with me, she will never use such tone and said such things.)
I was trying to test the water to check if Zara was ready for my upcoming business trip.
Me : Zara, can mummy sit airplane and go work work? (That's what we say when Daddy is away for his business trip).
Zara : Cannot. Daddy go only.
Me : Why cannot?
Zara : Mummy stay you.
Me : *don't understand* Huh? Mummy don't understand Zara. Can mummy sit airplane and go work work or not?
Zara : Cannot. Mummy stay you.
Me : *still don't understand* Why cannot, Zara sleep with kakak, ok or not.
Zara : Cannot. Mummy stay Zara.
(oh.. I finally got it. She meant "Mummy stay with me" when she said "Mummy stay you".)
