So Sweet & So Funny!

At first, tonight I thought I would like to tell you all why the name Clarissa was chosen. But then something very sweet happened. 

 

As I was sitting next to her on the bed, she suddenly SAID TO me - "Mommy, I am so glad you are my Mommy". I asked her why she's glad since Mommy always scold her, and she said -"You always scold me because you are my Mommy". I think she's trying to explain to me that I am scolding her for her own good, because Mommy always want the best things for her. So I asked her again, why doesn't she think she will be HAPPIER if Ku Ma, or Kakak, or Godma is her Mommy. She said "No"and told me - "Because I only love you and you only love me, that's why". Her answer brought tears of joy to my eyes.

 

Then another funny thing happened tonight, and I thought I will share this joke with you guys as well. 

 

A nice client of mine from Beijing gave me the Olympic Mascot toy today. So, I gave it to Clarissa and told her the dolly's name is Huan Huan (歡歡). When Daddy came home just now, she showed Daddy the dolly, and asked me to tell her the dolly's name again. I told her she's call Huan Huan and it means Happy in Chinese. She thought for a while and said, "Huan Huan means "Happy", and "Too Too" means "Sad", right Mommy?" I asked her to repeat herself and she said the same thing. Hubby and I were scratching our head on why she thinks "Too To" means "Sad". Then we found the answer - she thought I said the dolly's name was "One One" which means "Happy" and therefore "Two Two" automatically means "Sad". 

She's such a clown, isn't she?
