Kaitlyn “woke up” from a nightmare. In a very concerned voice, she asked, “Daddy, why does Mommy look so chubby?”

Melanie must looked shockingly swollen in Kaitlyn’s dream… nightmare.

On our way back from the neighborhood park, Kaitlyn noticed some blooming yellow and red tulips in front of someone’s house.

Kaitlyn: Oooh, Daddy, what are those flowers called?
Daddy: Tulips.
Kaitlyn: Oh yeah! I know that. It has two colors & they look like lips!

Half way home, she wanted me to carry her on my shoulders. While on my shoulders, she put her left ear on the top of my head.

Kaitlyn: Oooh, Daddy, I can hear your heartbeat!
Daddy: No, it’s my footsteps that you’re hearing.
Kaitlyn: Oh. What does your heart look like? Is it a circle or is it like a heart shape?
Daddy: Mmmh. It’s not like a circle, but it is…
Kaitlyn: Daddy, I wish you will die so I can see what your heart looks like.

Melanie and Ether picked up Kaitlyn from school. While in the car…

Kaitlyn: I really hope you two won’t be here someday!
Daddy and Mommy: What?!
Kaitlyn: Because I want burger!

Because sometimes when her grandparents pick her up, they would take her to Wendy’s or McDonald’s.

Kaitlyn was watching Benji (an old movie about a dog saving 2 kidnapped children) with Daddy.

Kaitlyn: What do dogs eat?
Daddy: Ah, dog food.
Kaitlyn: Dog food spiders?
Daddy: I don’t think so.

We were at Walmart, a woman over the P.A. system called for a “code Adam” to all store associates. I think code Adam means “drop everything you are doing to look for a missing child.”

The woman over the intercom went on to give a description of the child said something like, “The boy is wearing a grey shirt, blue jeans, has brown hair…”

Looking a little lost, Kaitlyn said, “Oh dear, what’s that??! I don’t know what that means.”

But then, after giving it a second thought, she understood it.

“Oh, she’s talking about him because it’s his birthday!”

On our way back from Kaitlyn’s dance class, Paw-Paw (means “Grandma”) asked Kaitlyn if she gave Ms Lyons the Christmas gift bag in Chinese. Kaitlyn said yes. Then Paw-Paw asked if Ms Lyons said “Daw-Jeh” (means “Thank you”). Kaitlyn replied, “No, she said ‘Thank you.'”

Kaitlyn was on the floor coloring. She sneezed.

Kaitlyn: Who’s going to say “bless you” to me?
Daddy: How about me?
Kaitlyn: Yes.
Daddy: Bless you.
Kaitlyn: Thank you! Now you say “you’re welcome!”

Mommy: Now I can’t get that song out of my head!
Kaitlyn: Because there’s no hole. That’s why. (said it matter-of-fact-ly)

We were having dinner at home. Kaitlyn was eating Chinese-style steamed spareribs when she pulled a small piece of bone out of her mouth. Speaking in Cantonese, Daddy told Kaitlyn to wipe the chipped bone off of her finger with the napkin, he said, 「Kaitlyn, “hi”喺呢度。」(“Kaitlyn, wipe it here.”)

Kaitlyn, holding the bone close to the napkin, with a soft, squeaky voice, she said, “Hi! Hi!”

“To wipe” in Cantonese Chinese is pronounced “hi”.
