Jordan likes animals. Her favourite animal is the elephant because she has a very bedraggled and sorry looking stuffed elephant that she takes everywhere. She also loves giraffes because they have long necks. She stunned Aunty PY by identifying a giraffe as a 长颈鹿 before saying that it was a giraffe. She also likes dogs, cats and mice. All three she learnt in Chinese class recently.
This morning, while everyone was rushing about getting ready to go to church, she sat quietly with her etch-a-sketch and drew this. After she was done, she showed it to Packrat who promptly yelled for me to see it before she erased it. I told him to take a photograph while I wrote down what it was (I am trying to get her interested in reading words). When I wrote Jordan's Mouse on top of it, she specified that it was a 老鼠 and I had to write that down too.
It took me a while, but I finally managed to come up with it.
We're very proud of her. It looks like a mouse that I would draw and I am 30 and some years older than she is.

I was dead impressed! I expected her to say 'giraffe' not 长颈鹿!
ReplyDeletep.s. It's 长颈鹿. Last character wrong lah. That is tuo, as in 骆驼. :P
Yes, indeed! I copied and pasted the wrong one. I knew it looked weird and wondered why the translation said "giraffe camel". What strange ass animal is that?
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I've copied and pasted the right one because it's a terrible mistake! :)
well done J! Looks like she inherited your mum's artistic genes? :)
ReplyDeleteRu,
ReplyDeleteThankfully she inherited my mom's and her dad's artistic genes and not my 'un-artistic' ones!
