A couple of weekends ago, the K-folks went to a Parenting Seminar hosted by our church. Uncle Calvin and Aunt Christina (a.k.a. Xiao Jiu and Xiao Ah-Yi) generously came by to babysit during that time. At one point, the following text exchange transpired between Uncle Calvin and K-Pop:
You read that right. Out of an abundance of caution given the chilly weather, Uncle Calvin wisely asks K-bao put on some warm pants, and reinforces his authority by texting first for parental confirmation.
After said confirmation is given by K-Pop, somehow the little one sneaks away her Uncle's phone, manages to read the text exchange, and in her contrarian mischievousness types: "Not confirmed. Kaylajordanhumomanddad." And then a bunch of euphemistic gibberish to express her frustration at having to change out of her pretty dress.
The Parenting Seminar did indeed address how parents should deal with rebels, but what about supremely cute and literate ones?
