Bath time is Livie's and my moment together. Noise of the shower may cover our words sometimes, but it will never cover our laughter. I was giving her a shower today, I was amazed to hear Livie speaking some words in Mandarin.
Me: Livie is so smart! You are very good at languages*!
Livie: Mommy is .......... (she was mumbling in the shower), mommy is so pretty.
Me: Uh? What did you say?
Livie: Mommy is pretty.
Me: Thanks, I could hear that one but what was the sentence before that? Mommy is what?
Livie: Ugly?
:-( I still don't know what she was saying in the first sentence.
* (Livie's Cantonese is even better than her brother now, these are all peer pressure. Adrian's best friends all speak English, Livie's best friends speak Cantonese)
