Hubby likes to teach Audrey new things as and when there are opportunities (during shopping, meal time, etc). So yesterday while almost finishing our lunch, he took a slice of tomato and asked Audrey a question “how many of tomato slice here”. She answered “one”.
Then hubby cut that slice of tomato into half and asked her the same question by pointing the half cut tomato. Audrey couldn't answer and we taught her that’s “half” slice of tomato. Later hubby cut that half slice of tomato into quarter. We knew she won’t be answering it correctly but for the sake of asking and to make her think, to our surprise she could dig out from her mind and answered “little bit”….. ha ha…we were laughing.
This recalls our memory that when she was 2 yrs old, we wanted her to show us where her toes…are. She pointed at her stomach. We thought she just mix up the body name so we tried to correct her by telling her that’s not toes but stomach (in English). She seems not agree with us and keeping on saying it’s “toes”. At the end we figure out that she has translated toes in English to the same vocal for the meaning of stomach in Cantonese. Huh….
