The following conversation happened between Maria and Kai Ling, my 3 1/2 years old niece.
Kai Ling: “Mommy, ah-yee (translation: aunt, my older sis), and ah-gu (translation: uncle, that would be me) went to visit wa-gong (translation: grandfather-in-law, my father). DIE already one…” [emphasize DIE somemore]
Maria: “Huh? Kai Ling, don’t say die. wa-gong passed away.”
Kai Ling” “Huh? Oh okay…”
Maria: “ah-yee and ah-gu went to pray your wa-gong”
Kai Ling:[raise voice] “No! No one play with him!”
Maria: [after 3 seconds pause] “Erm… Pray (clapsed both hand to show the praying sign), not play..”
Kai Ling: [nodding] “Oh! Ya lor… no one want to play with wa-gong”
Maria: “…..”
