Me: What’s this, darling? (Not expecting her to know it, just wanting to see her reaction)
Miss: Oh. Oh, Dear. …..Cuck-roach?
(To be fair I’m not sure I’d know that’s a porcupine either – must be a baby right, where are the spines?)

Me: Who’s this, darling?
(Kindy application photo)
Miss: Missy! Me!
Me: Yup. And who’s this?
(Her old passport photo)
Miss: A baby.
Me: This is you when you were a baby.
Miss: No, it’s a baby. Not Missy, Baby.
Me: Uh, you don’t think you looked the way you do now all the time right? You were once a baby. When you were a baby, you looked like that.
Miss: No. Not me. That baby. Baby not me.
Me: Well, who do you think that baby is?
Miss: A. Baby.
Has Miss Rockstar seen a live cockroach?
She looks so “seng muk” (alert and smart) in her photos. Good that you laminated her photos, can keep for a long time this way.
Yes we had a bad cockroach infestation a few months ago… But those cockroaches really don’t look like the dark brown ones we’re used to seeing in Southeast Asia… These are tiny and light brown… basically just under an inch long was considered “big” and icky… But very numerous..
She looked way more erm, “innocent” as a baby, now she has a very roguish crooked grin and the “Wolverine eyebrow raise” (cringe)
