Grannee is feeding: Why do you eat so slowly?
Caitlin: Why do you eat so fast?
Grannee: …..
Mummee is driving Mummee’s car: ..I have to think about getting new tyres soon…
Caitlin: What are… what?
Daddee: Tyres?
Caitlin: Yah.. tyres
Daddee, leaning Caitlin closer to the window: See those black round things on the car next to us, touching the road? Those are tyres.
Caitlin: Why Mummee need new tyres?
Daddee: Because they are getting old…
I have found she understands that “old” means having been around a while, that the object is starting to be defective.
Daddee’s joint cracked.
“What’s that?”
“Daddee’s knee cracked..”
“‘Cos Daddee is getting old already…” Grins at Daddee..
“Why are the boy & girl standing on the table?”
I didn’t even see it that way myself… I wonder what would happen if I drew lines / framed the three pictures..
“Why are there monkey bars in the bus?”
Heh heh!
What classic one-liners has your toddler said?
after the tyres’ being old bit, ure lucky caitlin didn’t say you also need to get replaced. =P hehe…
oh, and btw…
“Daddee, leaning Caitlin closer to the window”

Cute! Really cute.

Thanks!
We came across some old (even for a 3yr old!) passport photos of her’s. She’s already grown / changed so much!

Oh no! We do have a back-carseat which she uses a lot. Once a while when we all go out, she likes to sit on my lap in the backseat- which was the arrangement this time.
My inlaws however, do “hold” her in the front, which I don’t know how I can tell them SO MANY TIMES delicately…
I had a post earlier talking about my “getting-on” already. Won’t be long before she actually does say that about her old man!
