These days, a lot of times when I asked Clarissa to do something for me, or not to do something naughty, she will ignores me completely. Sometimes I got so irritated and I will tell her - "Clarissa, didn't I say not to do this? Why are you still doing it? You don't understand English?" Still, she will ignore until I threaten to punish her :)
Little did I realise that she has been absorbing everything I told her.... The other day, she came into the room to tell me something interesting she saw on TV. I could not make out what she was saying, despite her repeating it a few times. In the end, she was very frustrated and she told me this - "Mommy, you don't understand English ah, HUH?HUH? HUH?" (Have to repeat the "Huh" 3 times somemore). I was so amused at her question! But I wasn't stupid enough to keep quiet, so I told her -"Mommy understands English, but not YOUR English!" And this was exactly her reply, when I said the same thing about her not understanding English yesterday.
Luckily she could not understand or speak Cantonese, otherwise God knows what she will be telling me after listening to me talking to her aunties & Daddy :-P
