There was a time when I was slight worried because it seemed like all the kids around Laetitia's age were all starting to talk at 12-15mths, all except Laetitia.
When Laetitia turned 2, it was almost like magic, she started picking up lots of words and before I know it, she was rattling non-stop like a machine gun and sometimes she can go on and on and on for hours talking like there's no tomorrow!
I enjoy having a conversation with her because she always says the darnedest things and she makes me laugh off all the stress which I had accumulated trying to balance work and life. But sometimes, I wonder if she really know what she is talking about.
One evening, I was exasperated trying to comb her hair before bring her out for a walk for she was jumping up and down like a monkey. So I said, "Laetitia, comb your hair! You are not going out like that. Hair so messy, look like a ghost!"
Instantly, she froze and showed me a ghastly face, which look like this :s
She repeated my last word, "GHOST!"
I nodded, "Yes. Ghost. Have you seen one before?"
"YES." She replied with so much certainty, I almost jumped out of my skin.
"Where?" I prayed that she was not going to tell me something like in my room or beside me.
"In Ah Gong's house." came her answer.
I was relieved, at least our home is safe but just to make sure, I asked, "Just at Ah Gong's house. Not there right?"
She said cheekily, "Ya, Ah Gong's house."
Seriously, I don't know what to believe. Please tell me, she was just pulling my leg and my daughter is not really see dead people.
