Snippets of Tinto convos this week

This week in Tinto world, here were snippets of a few convos.

When I Die
Driving past a graveyard, Tinto pointed out "Mummy, that's where the people go to put flowers when I was dead."

Sweets Are Bad
After eating some chocolate, I asked Tinto if she wanted another one. She said "No Mummy. Grandma said sweets are bad for me and I will have a tooth ache and then I will be dead." I'm not so sure about Grandma's explanations. Lol.

When is the baby coming?
Tinto likes to lay her head on my stomach and coax the baby to come out - "Come out come out little fella", she says. I remind her that it's a girl. She says, "I don't WANT a baby sister, I want a baby brother!" After she calms down, she asks "Mummy, is the baby coming out tomorrow?. I say no, not for a few weeks. Then, "Mummy, is the doctor going to bring the baby out with a kui?" I say no, the baby will come out in a different way. I'm unsure about whether to tell her how the baby will really come out because knowing her, she'll go to school tomorrow and tell everyone that her baby sister is coming out of her Mummy's vagina. Like last time when we had just taught her what a vagina was - she went to my cousin who'd just arrived from Australia and said "Uncle Mose, can you see my vagina?"

Hanging out with Grandma's friends
My mom takes Tinto almost everywhere she goes. Tinto knows almost all Grandma's friends. On their last trip out, they went to see Grandma's friend Sister Susie at St Mary's college. Sr Susie is one of her favorites and she's quite a big woman. When they got there, Tino ran to Sr Susie, hugged her and said solemnly, "You know what Sister Susie? You have a really big bum! It's really biggest!" Grandma didn't know whether to laugh or strangle her.

I have no friends
I picked up Tino from school and asked her who her friends were. She was silent for a minute and then said "Mummy, but I think I have no friends." I said "how can you have no friends? She said "Mummy! But I have NOBODY!" After realizing her plight, she started to cry. I said "well what about Patience and Kimberly and Edwin?". She cried harder, "No, they is not my friends". The next day, Grandma, worried that her granddaughter was becoming an isolated pre-schooler with no friends, went to the teachers and asked if it was true. Of COURSE it wasn't true. The little drama queen.

The Difference between Buses
We were on the way to school and she saw some kids in uniform standing on the side of the road. She asked "Are those childrens waiting for the bus to go to school?" I said "Yes they're waiting for the school bus. Remember, school buses are coloured yellow." After a while, we met a bus. She asked "Is THAT a school bus?" I said yes. The bus was white. She said "Nooooo! THAT is a PEOPLE bus Mummy!"
