My therapy

Me: “Ma, remember when Tai bit the dog because he refused to give her the football? She was five, no?” (Yes, my sister bit a dog – And STILL, I am proud of my family)
My 5 year old niece (not wanting to be left behind): “Mau (she calls me that), you know when I was 10 years old, one big black snake came and bit me and I didn’t even cry because I am strong. I eat a lot of vegetables”:-S

I spent last five (beautiful) days with her fighting hard not to give into her demands of providing her unlimited “chapsi” (that’s pepsi in her language).

On other note…

He (to my FIVE year old niece): “How long do you take to come back home from school? What is the distance between your school and home?”
The expression on my five-year-old niece’s face: “Dude, I know I am tall but I am still only five!”

Try and try again till you succeed…

He tugs at my niece’s nose and says, “there…I have taken away your nose and it is in my hand now! Gosh, you have no nose!”

The expression on my five-year-old niece’s face: “ *Yawn* Don’t you think I am a bit old for that one? And, be original!”
