She is turning to be a chatterbox. She talks non-stop and really mean it. It is quite a challenge keeping up with her. Here are some gems worth remembering

***********

She was fiddling with the home computer and I told her to stop it. I suggested she play with her computer (Leapfrog pink and purple toy)

Her: I want a big computer – a big white computer not pink and purple to do my work mommy

**********

We were discussing features of the Iphone and Ipad while she was seated on the potty throne. She knew that the buttons were similar. Suddenly

Her: I do not have an Iphone mommy.

I nod my head

Her: Can you buy one? I want it

Me: You can have one when you are 18 years old.

Her: I grow big, have 4,5,6 ….18 birthday and you get me a Iphone

Me: Yes kanna. (She obviously did not realize how long 15 years will be – but I got away from it this time around)

***************

We were in the taxi and she kept chattering non-stop and suddenly she breaks into ABC. In between she starts blabbering (or so I thought)

Taxi Driver Uncle: Oh she is counting in Mandarin

Me: Oh yeah – she knows some Mandarin. I do not know it.

Her: (showing off) We are in a “hóng sè” taxi mommy

Taxi Uncle was very impressed and was singing her praises

****************

We were talking something and our conversation went like this

Her: What is this? ( pointing to a Christmas wreath)

Me: Christmas Wreath. Christmas Decoration

Her: Why Christmas decoration

Me: Christmas is coming that is why

Her: Why is Christmas coming?

Me: (Frustrated and a little devilish because it cannot go

Her: Why cannot it go?

Me: (I gave up folks) I do not know kanna and sigh

Her: It is hard – very hard right?

Me: What is hard?

Her: Being a mommy is very hard

I must have been whining way too much huh?
