My daughter has been calling me “yoyee” or "yo" since she was
2. She is now almost 3 and able to
construct quite a good sentence such as “Wow!! Great playground!” (when I
brought her to see her potential playschool) or “Baby’s creation” (when she
finished baking a new cake on iPad) or “Wow!! This is tasty!” (when she’s
enjoying her M&M), etc….. but she is still calling me “YOYEE”!!!
We keep asking her why I am “yoyee”, of coz she doesn’t know
how to answer us at this stage. We actually found
out that she pronounces “M” as “Y”.
Monkey = Yonkey
Mei Mei (her cousin) = Yei Yei
Mickey Mouse = Yickey Youse
Minnie Mouse = Yinnie Youse
Chipmunk = Chipyunk
That’s why I am either “yoyee” or “YO!!”.
Because of her, all my friends started calling me “yoyee” as
well, I actually quite like the nick name :).
My dad aka Kate’s grandpa who doesn’t
understand English, keep asking her, “Why are you calling your mummy ‘鱿鱼’ (squid)? ” :D
P/s : Daddy is very jealous coz I got a very unique and
exclusive nick name from her just like her “Ah B” :D.
