Living life in the carpool lane..

When her grandfather teases her:

Me:  Say “apa.”
M:  Apa.
Me:  Say “stop.”
M:  Hop.
Me:  Say “Apa, stop.”
M:  Apa, hop.

Trying to teach her “I love you.”

Me:  Say “I.”
M:  I
Me:  Say “love.”
M: …..
Me:  Say “you!”
M:  You.

Try again.

Me:  Say “I.”
M: I
Me:  Say “love.”
M:  Lub
Me:  Say “you.”
M:  You

Me: “I love you.”
M:  “Ay lah you”

Close enough.
