Manners

Here's K-Pop trying to teach K-bao a little manners. Admittedly, the exercise veered a little into bribery.

For the non-Mandarin speakers:

KP: "Let me ask you a question. What do you want to play?"

KB: "Opposites" (a Fisher-Price online computer game)

KP: "I see. You'd like to play Opposites on the computer. Well, how do you need to ask Daddy?"

KB: "Please!" (Bows). "Please play Opposites!"

KP: "A bow. Right. Daddy also wants you to dance."

(KB does a Feraba African tap dance).

KP: "Now sing a song."

(KB sings the Taiwanese folk song GeGeBaBa)

KP: "Daddy also wants you to ask in English."

KB: "May I? Opposites. Right now. Please."

KP: "Good job."

GeGe Baba

There is a currently obscure, previously famous, Taiwanese folk song entitled "GeGe BaBa," the first line of which is "Brother and Father are great men." You can actually find it on Amazon here (yes, the long tail of the Internet. You can even see some white kids dancing to it here). As this is obviously sound doctrine which should be internalized early - nevermind the fact that K-bao doesn't have a brother - we made it our business to ensure that it was one of her first songs learned. You can see her recital below. Musicality needs a little work.
