Alex with her new comb for school - using it like a phone after a conversation about this really cool Barbie phone she'd seen that made all these neat noises...
Mummy: are you talking on the phone?
Alex: takes the comb away from her ear, looks at it, looks at Mummy and says with a smile "no silly, this is a comb Mummy. I'm just using it like a phone."
Silly Mummy.
Alex's class has been learning english a few times a month at XiaDa Yi Er Yuan and she loves it - mainly because a lot of it is dancing and singing but also because her parents are derelict in their english teaching duties (they aren't sending her to english school either, shhh) and aren't teaching her any - hrmph! She came home last week telling us that they were learning animal names and one of them was "dun-key"...ah, no Alex, that would be "don-key". With a stamp of her foot, a hand on her (nonexistent) hips and a shake of her head she said "No Mummy, teacher said it is 'dun-key'!"
Silly Mummy.

Apparently, your English skills are just not up to par. You really should work on that :) I hope all is well with you.
