While waiting for the older two to finish bathing, Jaide and I lounged on my bed and spent some time cuddling, tickling and playing silly games as per custom.
She likes to hold my handphone and pretend to call people but whenever she starts putting it into her mouth, I would take it away from her. As usual, I had repeatedly told her that my phone was too dirty to put into the mouth before handing it back to her to pretend-play.
Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a movement that seemed to indicate that she was going to place it on her lips. I almost took it away from her till I noticed that she was putting it on her neck instead. I hesitated and watched on with amusement as she slowly inched the phone to her chin and it ultimately ended up on her lower lip. I took it away again, of course.
From then onwards, she kept trying to sneak the phone into her mouth using the same tactic. She even butt-shifted slowly, turning around till her back was facing me and attempted once again to bite my phone out of my sight. I was not so easily fooled. By then, I almost exploded trying to hold back my laughter but that would definitely send the wrong signal to her. Sternly, I told her that 'enough is enough' and kept the object in question out of the way permanently. Pouting, Jaide went on to play with the other knick-knacks lying around on the bed.
Ah... my little girl. You're becoming as cheeky as your elder brother!
