Zoe the conversationalist

Zoe is quite the conversationalist.. here is a story and a few quips.

Sometimes, when Zoe wants to be part of the conversations, but doesn't have anything to say, she will just babble-speak at me, and I'll return the favor with more non-sense speech.. we babble back and forth.. so this is the lead into the next bit:

We were at the park; Zoe heard this woman zip off a sentence in Cantonese to her daughter (a little younger than Zoe).. Zoe right afterwards, did her babble talk.. mimicking the Cantonese speech pattern... I wasn't sure whether I should be embarrassed or proud.. ;)

Phrases heard from Zoe:
  • Please
  • Thank you
  • Welcome
  • How are you today (sometimes she will answer that question with "Fann-tastic")
  • Be nice Mommy (when I do something disagreeable.. it is the phrase I used with Molly when she'd get nasty with the kittens)
  • Bless you (when someone sneezes or coughs)
