Americanized

Was talking with my darling cousins Jaime, 6 and Joy, 4 last Sunday.

Scene 1- Joy playfully kicked Jaime's knee
ChaCha : Does that hurt?
Jaime : A bit. You know, this is the hardest bone in our body. (pointing the patella/knee cap)
ChaCha : O.o

Scene 2- Showing them eggs-laying chicken
ChaCha : Have you ever seen a chicken before? (stupid question, I know)
Joy : Yes. At Hailey's (probably their friend). You know, there's a lot of chicken in America.
ChaCha : o.O

Scene 3- Catching kittens with them
Joy : Jaime is allergic to cat. He needs his *medicine's name*.
ChaCha : What's that?
Joy : A kind of medicine to help him stop sneezing, but apparently we can't find it here.
ChaCha : O.o

Scene 4- Coconuts in the balcony
ChaCha : Who picked the coconut outside?
Jaime : ME!! And Joy.
ChaCha : So are you going to drink it later?
Jaime : No, we just love the fun of picking it.
ChaCha : o.O

Scene 5- Girl talk
Joy : Oh, you have your toenails painted too. (pointing at my pink toenails)
ChaCha : Yeah. But I love your color, sparkly purple. (pointing at hers)
Joy : I like yours more.
ChaCha : O.o

Talking to them felt like talking to adults, in a fun way though. (^.^) I bet they miss the cool weather, they opened the freezer and spend some moments cooling themselves. (yep, we don't have AC in kampung) Sabah is at the warmest temperature when they got back, extreme opposite with the winter they just had in the States. I hope they don't have a hard time adjusting themselves with the climate. It's been more than 1 months since they got back, and Uncle No 2 doesn't seem to have problem driving on the right hand-side anymore.
Having them here is so exciting. Auntie Eve suggested that me and Joy should shop together some time, we have a lot in common..haha..4-year old Jojoy with my shopping attitude?I wonder how's she's gonna be at my age later. lol

We only got to spend less than an hour with them last Sunday, can't wait to see them soon. Probably on CNY, grandparents are expecting the whole clan to help out with the harvesting. T___T
Uh, can I stay at home and cook instead?? tsk..

By the way, here's a random picture of Uncle No 1 that I absolutely adore. They have a really good camera back then, my guess, more than 20 years ago. I had it retouched, very minor touches using Ps. The color is not far from the original, however the sharpness lessen..hmm..

To call them as my family is a genuine blessing!
