After not calling my in-laws for awhile, they finally called us today but I was busy cooking in the kitchen so I passed the phone to Tee. Of course, my MIL was thrilled to hear her grandaughter’s voice and after the usual darling, precious, how are yous, she asked Tee why she hadn’t called Ama for such a long time.
Tee’s quick retort?
“Ama! Do you know…….that young people are not supposed to call old people. Old people have to always call young people!!”
Ama….hard on her hearing replies, “What? What did you say?”
“I said!!! Young people can’t call old people. Old people must call young people!!”
When I heard that faintly from the kitchen, I almost fainted. Thoughts of my MIL complaining to the Hubs immediately crossed my mind on how I never teach my daughter to be courteous and how she is so blinking rude.
But Ama continued, “What do you mean? How come? How come you never call Ama? Why must old people call you?” (well, at least she acknowledges that she is old!)
“Because!!! Old people have bad memory, so you have to practise calling me so you know whether you can remember my phone number or not!!”
The moment I heard pride and laughter in my MIL’s voice, I relaxed a little.
Honestly, it is so frightening what comes out of my daughter’s mouth. She is cheeky and cocky beyond belief!
