Same as our family
My grandchild & I were sharing a book on animals.
We learnt that a pride of lions, normally consists of one mature lion, a few mature lioness and their cubs.
The lioness work as a team to hunt & bring home their catch for food. The lion gets to eat first before the lioness & the cubs have their fill.
"Same as our family, por por*. On Sundays, Mummy & kaka** go shopping for the grocery together. They come home to cook, lay the table & wait for daddy to join us at the table before all of us have our meal" commented my
grandchild .
What insights do children have!
* "por por means maternal grandma, in Cantonese, a Chinese dialect
**"kaka" means elder sister in Malay.
My grandchild is taught to use the term as a polite way to address the maid. She is not allowed to address the maid by name .. as done by the adults in the family.
