Didi is doing his homework and writing some chinese words. I looked over his shoulder and asked him "what's this word you are writing?". He said "Fei Ji". Attempting to "buat ayat" with this word to enlighten him on how this 2 words can be used in, I said "Ni si huan juo fei ji mah?". He answered "I don't like because I don't like origami anymore!". Now, what has that got to do with origami baffles me. So, I discussed with him "But I'm asking you if you like to ride aeroplanes or not wor" He looked at me with eyes that said "...err, is it something else fei ji?" Reading his mind, I corrected "Is it - ni si huan tat fei ji then?" His eyes lit up, like "yeahhhh, that should be it" and said "Wo si huan tar fei ji" (OMG! What did I do?) (yeah, I know you know that's what coming!")
I should let the tuition teacher alone to teach him mandarin.
