My dad has taken on the duty of ferrying Christian to and from school. In the very short time that he interacts with our son, he manages to save funny snippets to entertain P and I in the evening.
Just two weeks ago, he told me that because my mum was not around and it was just him and Christian in the car, he told Christian
"You have to follow me to the carpark cos Popo's not around" (i.e. instead of alighting at the driveway).
Christian nodded, and said "Yes, if not the bad guy will catch Christian".
Then he went off on a soliloquy -
"If Christian goes with gonggong, later we see the bad guy, gonggong will get angry then the bad guy will run away."
*pauses for 2 seconds*
"Gonggong, can you show me your angry face?" (as though to check that it is sufficiently fierce).
My dad was dumbfounded and very amused.

Yesterday, my dad told me that he was at the entrance of the school when the principal saw Christian and said "Christian, what a nice pair of shoes you have.."
My smart-ass son retorts "That's not shoes, it's 'sandals'!"
My dad didn't dare to laugh out loud, but I did when he told me this story. I used to correct myself and Christian on the correct term and I think he has taken my corrections to heart. *grin*
