i always thought adverbs are one of the hardest things in english. can never use the right ones in the right places. to amy though, it's so much easier.
one morning her daddy and i took turn to have breakfast with her. i couldn't finish my muffin, so left it to her daddy. as soon as her daddy sat down, she made a very long speech:
"mommy done with the muffin. bubby's eating the muffin. it's mommy's muffin THOUGH!"
the drive from daycare to our home is quite short, 3 minutes top. she always wants to stay in the car longer. one day i was in a hurry, so i told her, 妈妈走了啊. she immediately jumped down from her car seat and shouted, I WANT TO 走了TOO!
well, one might say, moms always exaggerate kids' achievement, what's the big deal with "though"and "too"? ok, i'll give you that. but how about "either"?
this morning i asked amy if she wanted a ponytail. she looked at me for a while and then said, "no, mommy do not have a ponytail EITHER!"
how can she know where to use TOO and where to use EITHER at age 2? as a typical mom, i'll just tell myself, i am raising a genius. :)
