New words

YP called from Zurich over the weekend and spoke to Shawn. Minutes prior to the call, I taught Shawn to say "Ah Kor" (in Hokkien it means auntie). He stared at me as if it was alien word. Then, he managed to vocalise it. Anyway, when she called, he just kept mum. Then we asked what does the lion say. He roared. Warmed up a bit. He answered when he's being asked to make the animals noise. :D Then when we asked him to call Ah Kor he was a bit stunned and stucked. But it came like a broken record from his mouth on and on after awhile being on the phone. Anyway, this phone call is an entitlement for one toy (according to the "Ah Kor"). Shawn kept calling Ah Kor towards the end of the call did not mean that he's entitled to more than one toy (according to the "Ah Kor"). So YT told Shawn to stop calling Ah Kor since the entitlement is already redeemed.

Now Shawn can say apple (as in American slang). I taught him for the fun of it and it worked. On most lazy days, he says "Pel pel". He calls the owl as "awul". He loves the owl nowadays. He kisses the book when he sees the owl.
