Children – they learn everything and anything. I still remember my nephew emulating Liang Po Po and his sister too was following his footsteps albeit not going around ‘ho-ho-ho.
Then there is another time, Oliver was telling me how his planes ‘yet another TV-induced pastime) seen from the show ‘Independence Day’ was by using the clothes pegs that are available.
Along came Laurel who recently did an un-bashful stunt. When an advertisement on pull-up diapers pants came along on TV, with her ‘ni du’ in her mouth, she would give you the mischievous grin (yes, ni du still on) and lift her blouse up to show you – LOOK! I have diapers too! *Laughs until pengz*
During CNY, Hazel did the full rendition of ‘Gong Xi Fa Cai’ with Laurel as her sidekick, swaying along as her elder sister sang. *smiles*
Whenever there are goodies to be consumed/played (in no order), they would scream ‘mine, mine, mine’ ( 我我我 )
And when some mess happens (something not UNCOMMON), they would response with ‘Not mine! It’s Korkor /Meimei’ and very often never their fault *chuckles*
I have seen 8 cousins – over the span of 10 over years grow up and the trend never seems to fail to show up. So it is not surprising that my nephew and nieces bring the same act up.
We may laugh, smirk, chuckle at their antics; but pray thee, how often than not are we like them?
