phone call

just want to mark this date.  

it's the first time that xia called me up in my mobile while i was in the office -  using mommy-la's phone on her own.  she just scrolled the phonebook and looked for m-a-m-a and dialled.  

voila!  

xia:  hi mama!  i go to the playground.  

(ok, fine wrong grammar as she came from the playground already when she called up).

mama:  hello baby, oh you went to the playground?  (of course, i did try to correct her).  

xia:  yes, with ate.  

mama:  that's good.  what did you do in the playground.  

xia:  i watched swimming.  

mama:  how about you, did you swim?  

xia:  no, because i'm coughing.  

mama:  oh you still have cough?  did you do the superhero? (my term for her nebulizer hehehe).  

xia:  yes, finished already.  

mommy did not think at first that i was on the line with her.  and she had the surprise of her life when xia was indeed talking to me as she did not assist her at all.  

not sure if it was just luck - but we can only tell if she calls again on her own next time... 

one word:  smart.  

hehehhee...
