While holding 2 toys, one in each hand:
Mariessa: Abang, abang nak toy yang mana?
Abang: Abang nak yang ni lah (pointing to one).
Mariessa: Tak bolehhhhhhh. Yang ni kita nak. Abang nak yang mana?
Afiq: Kita nak yang tu! (pointing to the same as earlier) – note how ‘Abang’ has changed to kita indicating ada sedikiiiit rasa gerammm.
Mariessa: (dengan nada exactly the same) – Tak bolehhhhhh. Kita nak yang ni. Abang nak yang mana? (dengan penuh innocentnya, as if it was the first time she’s asking).
if Afiq insists on that one jugak, Mariessa’s answer will remain the same. Lama2 mesti Afiq mengalah and point to the other one. So he’ll get that one. Baik tak payah tanya, dak?)

While talking on the phone to Aunty Pet
Mama (whispering): Kakak, tanya la Aunty Pet dah makan ke belum?
Mariessa: Aunty Pet…. Aunty Pet dah makan ke belum?
Aunty Pet: Belummmmmm… Lapar ni!
Mama (whispering): Ajak la Aunty Pet datang rumah kita, makan kat sini.
Mariessa: Aunty Pet, nasik kat rumah kakak dah abis dahhhhh!!!!
(Tak de la courtesy nya dak? Heheheh).

This morning, arguing (as always) about some thing, tak perasan apa.
Afiq: Kakak budak kecik lagi, kakak mana faham!
Mariessa: Kita dah budak besaaaaaar dah!
Afiq: Kita dah five, haaaaaaaaa!!! Kakak tu three.. kakak kena four dulu, lepas tu baru five, baru besar macam kita!
Mariessa: Alaaaa… kita three pun dah besar! Kita tak pakai diapers dah. Cikgu kata, kita pandai!
Afiq: Ishhh.. susah lah cakap ngan kakak ni!
