Today at the playground, Suhaana found a small green cap - of a soft drink bottle. I was watching her from a distance. She was pleased with her findings and flaunted it to me from the distance. Soon the trophy was headed to her mouth. I signaled "No eating!" - from where I was. I call it remote monitoring! She giggled - like this was our shared secret - we both knew this was not to be eaten. We both knew she didn't mean to eat it. We both knew its just too tempting to try to taste it! We both knew!
I called out- "Suhaana, that's a CAP". After a pause, she went "Miao".. And then again and again. More "Miao. Miao. Miao"!
I realized, she thought I said CAT!! It was hilarious because regardless, she kept on miao-wing for a while.
