My niece, all of three years, is all mischief. She claims to be 'big'. So she stands beside something and makes sure the other person or the object is below her shoulder level... all to confirm her claim that she is 'big'. Not to be outdone by her elder brother, who is four years elder to her, she is adamant that she too is seven years old.
During my last conversation with my people at home, Mum was reporting that one morning she was tired of being "harassed" by the little one and she said to my brother (her father) as he was getting in the car to go to office, "Shall we give away Anet to someone because she is becoming too naughty?" All of this within her earshot. Pat came the reply, "Give me to Mai (that's how she addresses my mother!)"
Was reminded of someone reporting something similar about their grandson who was being stubborn about eating something. So the grandma asked the boy, "You do know which kind of children go to heaven, don't you?" The reply was quick, "Yeah, all the dead ones!"
