7th July 2014
Vi and I are ready. Sam rushes home from work, and goes for a quick shower.
Vi knocking the door: Daddu? Daaaadduuuuuu, what are you doing?
Sam: I am taking a shower
Vi (giving me *that* sly look): What? You are breaking the towel?!
And then the endless giggles! :D
Sometime in 2013
Me: Vividhaaaaa, pick up your toys!
Vi (rolling eyes, shrugging her tiny shoulders): Papoi? Ja, ja, ja Papoi, papoi! Phrrrtttt!
Sometime again in Summer 2013
I can't find my phone. Calling my number from the landline and frantically searching around the house for any faint ringing sound. I can't hear it.
Vi: What are you searching?
Me: My phone
Vi: Then who are you calling from the house phone?
Me: My number, so I can hear it and then look for it.
Vi (that *khufiya jasoosi* look and a grin): Call my number, and I'll find it for you. OK?
Me (in an equally secretive whisper): OKkkkkkkkayyyyyyyyyy!
So I pretend to call her toy phone. She picks it.
Vi: Hello, Mumma? Yes, yes, I can help you. Please look inside my big bag of soft toys.
And sure enough, there it is, muffled by all the cuddliness around!
