Ah Cuo (great-grandma), Ah Ma and I were just sitting around Rei Qi and Yi Han when Rei Qi suddenly rushed towards Yi Han who was lying on her stomach on her mat. Sensing that she was up to no good, I quickly intercepted before her flailing arms could hit her younger sister. All of us asked her why she wanted to hit Meimei but she just said 'No', turned and walked away. As usual, we started asking Rei Qi whether she was a 'good girl' or a 'naughty girl'; just a silly attempt to try to get her to acknowledge what she tried to do was wrong.

Rei Qi just leaned on the coffee table and stared just straight at us. Without blinking. Then there was a subtle change in the look in her eye and we were looking straight into a pair of eyes full of mischievious intent. Something like this.


Without even cracking a smile, she slowly..deliberately...blinked her big beautiful eyes and then gave a cheeky little twist of a smile. Just about like this.

That just totally ran over all 3 adults like a monster truck and we just looked at each other in bewilderment. What??? How did a 21-month old toddler actually know how to tease? Oh dear...I think daddy and I are gonna be in big trouble when this girl grows up...
