Scenario 1:
One day in my car, I asked my little ones what food do they like.
Javier:"I like pizza!"
Daddy:"What pizza?"
Javier:"Pasar Malam pizza!"
I paused for a moment, looked at Mommy and asked:"Pasar Malam got sell pizza meh?"
She shook her head.....
Daddy:"Javier, how did you know Pasar Malam sells pizza?"
Javier:"Have....."
Then Jerlene sensed that we were all in different "frequency" and clarified.....
Jerlene:"Javier, it's Pastamania Pizza!!!!"
Daddy and Mommy:"Orh........" and we both felt enlightened......
Scenario 2:
While walking towards the car park....
Javier:"I've learnt many flowers from school"
Daddy:"Really? What flowers do you know?"
Javier:"Rose, Ixora, Tulip, Chrysanthemum and Bo Gei Gin Na!"
I was stunned when I heard that. I thought I heard wrongly and asked Javier to repeat.
Daddy:"What is the last one again?"
Javier:"Bo Gei Gin Na!, purple colour one"
To me, Bo Gei means No Teeth and Gin Na means Kid in Hokkien.
So Bo Gei Gin Na means No Teeth Kid!
Then Jerlene saw my blur look and clarified.....
Jerlene:"Javier, it's Bougainvillea!"
Daddy and Mommy:"Orh......" and laughed until our jaws dropped.......
