What They Say

Today while chit chatting with my colleagues (what topic or how it started I don't really recall) but it reminded me of some jokes way back...

When my kids were younger, and they were not yet taught to remember their parent's name, grandparent's name, even their own names, this was what they answered...

Scene 1
Adult     : What is your mummy's name ?
Big A    : Mummy!
Adult     : What is your daddy's name ?
Big A    : Papa!
Adult     : ...

Scene 2
Adult     : What is your mummy's name ?
Big A     : "Lao Po"! / 老婆 (wife)
Adult     : What is your daddy's name ?
Big A    : "Lao Gong"! / 老公 (husband)
Adult     : How can that be your mummy and daddy's names ?
Big A    : Because it's what they call each other everyday!
Adult     : (LOL)

Scene 3
Adult     : What is your "ah mah's" (grandmother's) name ?
Twins    : AH MAH!
Adult     : What is your "ah gong's" (grandfather's) name ?
Twins    : AH GONG!
Adult     : =_="

Scene 4
Adult     : What is your name ?
Twin 2   : MEI MEI!  (younger sister)
Adult     : What is your "jie jie's" name ?
Twin 2   :  JIE JIE! (big sister)
Adult     : ...


Scene 5
Adult     : What is your "jie jie's" name ?
Twin 1   : Allysa! (eldest sister)
Adult     : OK. But you must call her Allysa "jie jie", OK ?
Twin 1   : No...I'm JIE JIE! ( > 3 < )
Adult     : Then what's your twin sister's name ?
Twin 2   : MEI MEI!
Adult     : ...

But now that they're more grown up, and some people still keep mistaken the twin's identities, they can sometimes get rather fed up of correcting people's mistakes.

Adult     : Alice...(while looking at Ashley)
Ashley   : my name is ASHLEY!
Adult     : Opps...sorry. :P
Ashley   : (giving him/her the "look")

Adult     : Ashley....(while looking at Alice)
Alice     : NO! I'm not Ashley...she's Ashley...I'm ALICE!
Adult     : Oh...ok ok...
Alice     : haiyo.... (then emo's)

Kids... XD
