A couple of days ago, Ben and Abby were about to leave for school. As usual, she'd bid farewell to didi, Lina-jiejie, the chair, the floor, the tv, the fan, the sofa, the carpet, the door... you get the idea.
So on that day, prior to leaving, she wanted to take her laptop along to school.
Ben: Abby, we can't take that. It's too big, it can't fit into your bag.
Abby (ponders and looks at both laptop and Hello Kitty backpack): Too big? Cannot go in.
Ben: Yes, that's right, we can't bring that.
Abby: Ok, cannot bring.
Later, as they got into the car, which was about 10 minutes or so as they made their way past a playground and offered the daily courtesy hello to a neighbour attending Brighton M., she requested for the toy bag in the car. She started looking inside as usual, then suddenly...
Abby: Oh! It's here!
Ben (looking at her): What? Oh, your phone? (referring to her toy mobile phone a.k.a. the noisy thing)
Abby: Not too big right?
Ben was stunned. She was actually making reference to the laptop and comparing both, and at the same time persuading Ben to let her take that to school.
...
Last night, when we were about to doze off, Ben was on the phone with one of his kids. Then when he ended the conversation,
Abby: Who's that?
Mummy: One of Daddy's probationers.
(a slight pause...)
Abby (repeating herself, directing the question to Daddy): Who's that? WOMAN UH?
We were stunned. Ben exclaimed that even Mummy doesn't even ask that! :D
