Imitating Adults

Now we have to beware and careful with what we do and act..

Story 1
PaPa was playing with Jeriel in the room while Jeriel was trying to escape.

Mummy : Dear, what are you doing? Need some help.
Jeriel : Mummy calling! Mummy calling!
(Actually he was informing his PaPa that Mummy was calling PaPa – a way to escape which he learnt from his PaPa)

Story 2
Jeriel was sitting on the stroller with his pillow. I was at the apartment mailbox to get mails.

Mummy : Jeriel, please help Mummy to hold the letters.

A few seconds, after seeing the letters ,

Jeriel : Mummy, Mummy, you take. You take.
Mummy : Why?
Jeriel : Boy boy no hand.

Har? Where he learnt the word 'no hand' ???

Story 3
At nanny's house,

Nanny : Jeriel must finish the rice, then nanny will give you cornflakes, ok?

Jeriel nodded his head. After finishing his dinner, nanny gave him a small bowl of cornflakes. Then, JieJie came.

Nanny : Jeriel, can you give 'D' JieJie one cornflake.
Jeriel : You finish your rice first, I will give you cornflakes later, ok? (to 'D' JieJie)

Story 4
Nowadays, when Jeriel wants anything, he will ask us whether we want .Actually indirectly, if we wanted, then he knew he would get it.

Mummy : Jeriel, do you want to eat cheese.
Usually Jeriel would just say Yes. Sometimes he would ask back the question to us,
Jeriel : You want?

Or

PaPa : Jeriel, do you want PaPa to buy ice-cream?
Jeriel : You want ice-cream, PaPa?
