After dinner, Daddy was talking on the phone in the study room. I was with Mummy in the living room and being inquisitive, I asked Mummy who Daddy was talking to.
Mummy : "Daddy is talking to 奶奶"
Me :"OK" ... then listened intensely to Daddy's conversation. After a while....
Me : "Mummy is English! 奶奶 is Chinese, It's 姑姑, not 奶奶!!!" (meaning, Daddy is speaking English so cannot be 奶奶 cos she doesn't speak English, must be 姑姑)
Mummy thought that was funny ...
When Mummy said 奶奶, I can associate to someone else in the family, ie. 姑姑, not some other friend of Daddy
And I can associate Chinese to 奶奶 since 奶奶 doesn't speak English, and 姑姑 speaks English. Ha ha
