Henni-isms 5

 

Junjun: (refusing his food) waa-waa-waa
Henni: (throwing a generous amount of her pancake on Junjun's tray after seeing him refusing his mush) Baby, I am SO nice to you!

Me: (working on the computer) Henni, stop touching mommy's keyboard.
Henni ignores me and continues to press my keyboard with her little index finger.
Me: Henni, I am not joking. Please stop touching mommy's keyboard.
Henni: No, but I am joking!

Dad: Who do you like more, mommy or daddy?
Henni: Baby!
She never fails to answer this question this way. Don't ask me why we ask her this question--I swore I'd never ask this silly qustion to our children, but for some reason, it's hard to resist the urge to know the answer to this one. Of course, our smart daughter does not give us the satisfaction of knowing the answer!

We own two cars, a gray new station wagon and an old white minivan we purchased for $400 when we got to Korea.
Dad: Do you like the gray car or the white car?
Henni: The gray one.
Dad: Why?
Henni: (most nonchalantly, with the tone of a teenager's "you should know better") Because I like to listen to music! (our white van's radio and cassette player are all broken)
