L-e-t u-s t-a-l-k!!!

Early this week i got a call from my mum , who is really so so cute without even trying!!! She started the conversation about the maid. Somehow she thinks the maid can understand both Hokkien and English now! ( thanks to dad who regularly teaches her a few English phrases!) Anyway her conversation started like this ~

The m-a-i-d got a l-e-t-t-e-r from her m-o-t-h-e-r today and she wants her to buy a h-a-n-d-p-h-o-n-e . She also wants her to go back in M-a-y. I told her that the a-g-e-n-t says they arent allowed to have h-a-n-d-p-h-o-n-e-s . In the night i heard the sound of a b-e-l-l in her room. It makes the sound r-i-n-g r-i-n-g , like the b-e-l-l on your anklet! I asked her what it was and she said that its the r-a-d-i-o. And this morning , she was cutting the s-t-a-r f-r-u-i-t , and she was cutting it the shape of s-t-a-r-s. i told her to stop cuz we dont cut the f-r-u-i-t that way! But she refused to stop. And she even cut up a ton of g-ar-l-i-c to keep . i told her that those dont keep well but she insists they do!! >

The conversation was longer than this but believe me it sure felt really really long cuz it was not easy deciphering all her spellings! Its not that i cant spell , u try it out and see how difficult it is to listen and make out spelled out words like that. NO wonder we talk like that when we dont want our kids to know what we are talking about! Heck even adults cant decipher it!!! LOL i tried it with my sis and she was like huh?? what?? wait wait , spell it again , h-a-n what??? ...and what's g-a-r-l-i-c? ... Phew!!! But that is my mum for u!!!! So next time u want to tell a secret and don't want to whisper u can try this , it sure makes it tough for the other person to get your drift. By the time they figure out what m-e-n-o-p-a-u-s-e is , i would be 70!!!!
K-N-O-W W-H-A-T I M-E-A-N ????
