Children like to mimic things that their parents do and say. I like to mimic the things my parents say in cantonese hoping that it will improve my dialogue. This evening my father was watching television. I was upstairs when I heard him shout,"Yao mo gow tsow ah!!" It must have been some sports channel he was watching. My head shot up from my work and I started to mimic him loudly saying,"yao mo gow tsow ah! yao mo gow tso ah! hahahahah.." My mother hears me, and from what I can conclude, she must have given him an evil glare because my father says," What?! When you're around her you say those things too!! and 'lay sai po!' too!" A couple seconds of silence followed that comment until it was broken by my father saying "ow!"
