New Vocab
From Kiddie E, who has just been informed that she has topped the class in Math and will be receiving a certificate on her school's honor day next week :)
GOSSPERING : "Gossiping about other people, but in a whisper"
LOL

Kids Talk
Kiddie J has started reading and is using her new vocab.
The latest:
"Why are you so hot? Do you need the fan?"
"Yeah, I am so hot that I am aspiring!"
giggles.

Good English
The girls were ranking the most poisonous animals in the WHOLE WIDE WORLD (dont ask me why and how) and this conversation came up:
Kiddie J:"The second goodest is the King Cobra!"
(She currently ends every sentence with an exclamation mark, except for questions which will end with a question mark AND an exclamation mark)
Kiddie E:"NOOOOO.... you cannot say goodest!"
(Unlike Kiddie J, Kiddie E only uses exclamation marks when correcting her younger sister's mistakes.)
"You should say 'The second BETTER!' "
HAHAHAHA.

Kids say the truest things
Since returning from hospital, I have been taking lots of medication including one jab a day with a size 23 needle, injected about an inch into the top outer quarter of my butt.
Kids found it fascinating to see E cutting the rim of the vials, snapping them and pulling the 10ml oil-based med into a syringe with a needle, wiping the injection site with antiseptic wipe, injecting me and slapping a plaster over the pin hole.
The first few times were ok with a pain level of 4 on an ascending scale of 1 to 10. The injection being done on alternate butt cheeks. But since each jab leaves some residual medication at the injection site, it was pretty soon when the areas hardened with the congestion, and along with that - pain.
The pain got worst and worst and hitting level 8s and 9s, and the kids watch in morbid fascination (it's scary how it is even possible with kids these young...) as I grimace through every injection.
I decided to make it a life lesson with them by telling them about the pain, and how I am enduring it without crying, throwing tantrums or not doing it, because it is necessary, blah blah blah.
Kiddie E came back, "Yes, Mummy is not crying. Mummy only say oh-oh-ouch-ouch."
LOL

Kids say the darnest things 2
Kids are at that age where their vocab haven't caught up their thoughts and expressions yet (but to be fair i say that is true of many of us still...)
Kiddie E : Mommy, my sore throat is painful.
Tot J: Mommy, he disturb me just now!
Mommy : Jie Jie is a girl, not he, she. Say properly again?
Tot J: Mommy, Jie Jie disturb me just now.
Mommy: which one do you want?
Tot J: I want 2!
Mommy: choose 1
Tot J: ok, INEE MINEE MYNEE ...
Mommy : no inee-minee, just choose
Tot J: No INEE-MINEE? ok
Tot J (whisper) : inee minee mynee...
Tot J: MOMMY, JIE JIE DOWAN TO SHAAAARE!
Mommy: Did you ask nicely?
Tot J: Jie Jie, can you share?
Kiddie E: She never say PLEASE!
Mommy: Ask nicely, say please
Tot J: Can I have pleeeeease?
Kiddie E: ... ...
Tot J: I ALREADY SAY PLEASE!
Mommy: Are you going to share?
Kiddie E: She never say PLEASE nicely!
Tot J has a packet of M&Ms
Mommy: Will you share have with your friend?
Tot J: ok, can I share half?
Mommy: Wow, that's very nice, yes, of course.
Tot J bit half of a M&M and gave the remaining to her friend

lemon nuts
Had been sharing healthy snacks with the kiddies.
(ALRIGHT, I confess! the kiddies came up to me when i was snacking and I had to share some with them. you happy now? hmmph*)
Kiddie J particularly liked nuts and she came to me to asked for some one day.
"Mommy, may I have some lemon nuts?"
my kids know to ask nicely when they want something, really want something
"Lemon nuts?"
"uh-huh."
(she's taken to uh-huh'ing when she wants to say yes cos it sounds really cute, to her)
"Is it sour?"
"no"
I had absolutely no idea what she meant, and gave her the container with the mixed nuts.
"which one?"
and she pointed to
