Kiki was in the bath when she suddenly said "Tar Bor".
Maricar was shocked and delighted at the same time.
She explained that she had only said "Tabo" once to Kiki last week when she referred to the dipper. Kiki always hogs the dipper and refuses to let Maricar have it. (Maricar uses it to rinse Kiki's hair from the shampoo)
So, Kiki is multi-lingual!
Besides English, her other vocab includes "Pu Tao" 葡萄 (Mandarin for Grapes) and "Dui Le" 对了！ (That's correct!)
