Where do I begin! I am so very proud of her linguistic abilities you know.
She has this way of using the 'falling' instead of 'fall' or 'fell' down.
E.g. she would say, most ungramatically, "Oh I falling down" or something like that. I've been trying to correct her in vain and yesterday she articulated why exactly she was resisting being corrected. She said
"I like falling aatha" then she realized it didn't sound right and corrected herself thus:
"I I like the word 'falling', aatha"
my my my! it's like poetic licence - where poets are deliberately ungrammatical for the sake of beauty and rythm. While we may not concur that 'falling' sounds better than 'fall', who can refute that for her, it sounds more melodic?
and then, she was chatting with her father on the phone and then suddenly said "Ok Bye". The hubby was taken aback as he was far from finished - he can hold fairly long conversations with her. so he asked her 'Why Bye?" and she says, cool as anything, "I'm done talking with you!" hahahhahahahaah.
she doesn't mean it rudely of course - just matter of factly.
Today morning she told her grandfather "why are you getting frustrated?"
I love it - she picks up everything so quickly and is able to use it in the right context. my little genius! hehehe.
