I overheard this conversation between the kids a couple of days ago:
Hannah (in Chinese): 你要喝美碌吗?
Translation: Would you like to drink “mei lu”?
Ethan replied: What’s that? No, I don’t want to drink beautiful road!”
Hehe. 🙂
Hannah was referring to Milo, but because the pronunciation for “Beautiful Road” is the same, that would explain Ethan’s cheeky response.
(By the way, I asked for some help from Hannah’s teacher on how to write “mei lu” in Chinese Characters; in case you were wondering… :P)
