My niece (who I'll refer to as JJ here) turned 2 today.
I called her this morning to sing Happy Birthday to her. Since my sister and I love to hear her "JJ talk" we are always asking her to say things. Today was no exception. (Some of my favourites are "ah-gai-er" for alligator, "dabba doo" for her dog Scooby"and "mel-mo" for Elmo.)
Here's a run-down of our phone conversation:
JJ: Hi Ai Yee (Ai Yee is Chinese for mother's older sister/aunt)
Me: Happy Birthday!
I then started to sing Happy Birthday but JJ paid no attention and just kept saying LO's name over and over. So instead of singing the rest of the song, I resorted to seeing if I could get her to say something funny.
Me: Say happy birthday
She continued saying LO's name
Me: Say alligator
LO's name again
Me: How old are you today?
LO's name again
Me: Say I'm two today
LO's name AGAIN
Me: Say LO's name
JJ: Bye-bye
Oh boy - another comedian in the family.
