The Little Rascal!

Its amazing that Nicole, my daughter will be 5 yrs old this year! How time flies! It seems only yesterday that I was just cradling this small little fragile baby in my arms, and now, she is answering back at me with her snide remarks which she has learnt from ME, or our family!
Kids learn to fast! I could tease her about certain things and then one day, she could use that same phrase back at me! I never thought that she would actually remember things which some people may say!
Just yeaterday, when we went out for our New Year’s Eve dinner, I almost crashed into a stupid damn van in front of me! And I said, ‘You Stupid Idiot! Are you blind??’. And my mum and tenant mentioned that I should be careful of what I say, cos Nicole may end up learning that too! I told them, ’sorry, what I said is already the censored part, if she was not around, it would have been worse! The four-lettered words and other ‘beautiful’ words in my vocabulary would just automatically flow out of my mouth!’ 
These days, she is even copying my every sentence at times! When I’m on the phone, she’d pretend to be on the phone too, and copy, word-for-word what I say to whoever is on the line! It really gets on my nerves! I have told her off so many times that it is rude to eavesdrop and/or copy the conversation! But she still does it!
I can foresee that she is going to end up just as hard-headed and stubborn as her Mum and Dad! Thank goodness she’s got her mother’s social skills and friendly demeanour!
