Funny things GP says

I had forgotten about this episode, but GP started laughing the other day and reminded me.

About two weeks ago, just before bed, I started looking around her dressing table for a comb.

GP: What are you looking for?
me: A comb. I thought your comb was over here.
GP: Look in the drawer.

(I look in the drawer)

me: It's not here.
GP: What's a comb?

Another funny word play:

The ayi (maid) was cleaning and GP and I were in the bedroom. She points at the bed and says:

GP: Who did that?
me: What?
GP: Ford that.
me: Ford? Ford what?
GP: Your clothes, who ford your clothes?

I laughed and said: It's a good thing we have a Buick.

GP: Tao yan! (that means she's pretending to be angry)
GP: Next time you can Buick your clothes!

Now we laugh every time we see a Ford on the street.

My girl is so smart

GP came home from school tonight (she is working on a degree in International Import/Export) to report that she is at the top of her class of 100 people. It was scholarship day and she was one of two to get a second level scholarship, and she was the only one to get a scholarship both semesters in a row. Let's hear it for GP!
