Do you listen to me?

When Kong Kong (or Grandpa) joins us for dinner, Orange likes to sit on his lap after they are both done for a story while the rest of us continues with the meal

Here's what I heard from the dinner table one evening. Kong Kong was reading a story from the Bible, about Cain and Abel. There was a line that said Cain did not listen to God. Orange asked her series of Why questions. Kong Kong's answer was, "Because he didn't listen to God". Then Kong Kong started asking his own series of questions.

Kong Kong: Does Orange listen to Kong Kong?
Orange: Yes
Kong Kong: Does Orange listen to Ma ma?
Orange: Yes
Kong Kong: Does Orange listen to Pa pa?
Orange: Yes
Kong Kong: Does Orange listen to Por Por (Grandma)?
Orange: Yes

Then Orange decides she should ask some questions.
Orange: Does Kong Kong listen to Orange?
Kong Kong hesitates....: Yes
Orange: Does Kong Kong listen to Apple?
Kong Kong: Yes

LOL! Was Kong Kong was "trapped" for a moment?

Lesson learnt: Practice what we say.
