Grace: "Wan Yun, what are you doing?"
Annabel: "Asker"
Grace: "No, what are you doing?"
Annabel: "Asker!!"
Grace: "Mom, make her tell me what she is doing!!!"
Annabel: "ASKER!!!!!"
I think Annabel thinks we are pretty dumb sometimes when she is sure she has explained things to us.
It also explains why I am a little short on memory, have trouble making sense, etc!!
The beginning of this conversation happened in their bedroom.
I thought we were going to read, so I arrived with my book after everyone was ready for bed. Only Grace began working on a project for school. Annabel does not have a book in Chinese right now, so she got out some paper, a pen, and started drawing.
Grace was curious as to what Annabel was doing, but instead of asking her, she asked me.
So I told her, "Ask her."
So Grace said, "Wan Yun, what are you doing?"
Annabel answered what I had said, "Asker".
It took the third time for her to answer this way before I realized she wasn't just acting like a smarty, she THOUGHT she was answering appropriately. At least she had answered the same way I did.
So I explained that ASKER was actually ask her.
