My wife and I had a little tiff the other day. We were talking about something and our voices got louder. Gracie quickly stepped in to defuse the situation. She said,"hao le, hao le, bu yao jiang le!" - "OK, OK, don't talk anymore!". And gave both of us a grin.
She is still more than 2 months shy of her third birthday. Already, she learnt how to step between us to calm things down. We were not really quarrelling. As usual, my wife refused to admit that she has slipped up. Normally, I will just ignore it. That time, she irked me by talking about the matter for the third time. We had returned from grocery shopping. My wife bought 2 packs of diaper. Each pack is supposed to come with a free kiddy tee-shirt. When putting things away, I noticed that one pack is the normal one without the tee-shirt. When I told my wife, she immediately started to accuse (1.) me, as usual, of losing it, (2.) the bad-hearted people in general, for stealing it (3.) the cashier for swopping the pack etc etc.
I was annoyed the first time. Irritated the second time. When she brought it again for the third time after half an hour, I told her straight in the face that she has taken the wrong pack. A big mistake. So our voices got louder and louder till Gracie stepped in. That was 2 days ago. Just today, my wife told that I always refuse to admit when I am wrong. I chortled and kept quiet.
