Kids say the darnest things...

:offtopic: But I just have to add... it reminds me of one session I heard over the morning show. FD was commenting on the MT and language topic..
He said no need to say MT to confuse everyone. Just say you learn Mandarin / Malay Language / Tamil etc.. Mother Tongue is the first language you learn and speak since birth! he went on to elaborate that in the case of our kids, their MOTHER TONGUE is actually ENGLISH not MANDARIN!!
That was really fruit-for-thought of the day for me! :idea: -
This happened many years ago and it was a conversation I had with someone else's kid. This kid was already a teenager and an Indian. We were in a shared classroom and this young man was looking at the name lists on the notice board. Suddenly, he looked very surprised.
Young Man (YM): Is \"Christian\" a name?
Me: Yes, some people do name their children \"Christian\".
YM: Really ah? First time I see this. ... So is this a boy or a girl?
Me: Should be a boy.
YM: So...does this mean he is a christian?
Me: Yes, should be.
YM: Har? Like that also can ah? Then, if I have a kid, I can also call him \"Hindu\" lor!
Me:
:slapshead: :roll: -

:faint: this is funny, although a bit sad if he was being serious. So if he has 5 kids how? Hindu 1, Hindu 2?Young Man (YM): Is \"Christian\" a name?

that boy called \"christian\" was obviously not chinese. I think mebbe eurasian. i doubt the indian boy will run out of names since hinduism has so many many gods to name his kids after.
(psst, he's not serious lah. i know for sure he has a good sense of humour.

the other day when she was back from her child care school,
me: did your teacher ask where you had been for the past week?
DD: yes she did
me: what did you answer?
DD: i had been to hotel. -
