Sempi is playing in his room with some construction cones and trucks. He usually narrates his gameplay. I walk into the room and right at the moment he says: “Caution! Caution! Oversize load” I wonder if it’s coincidence or subliminal messaging.
Yoshi: Let me cut that chocolate bar in half. Sempi: Why? Yoshi: Because it is too much. Sempi: I want too much.
Fine summer evening, I’m taking Sempi on a walk. He’s carrying a flash light and shining it on every piece of object on the side walk and asking me questions. Sempi: Appa, what is this? Me: It’s a rock. Sempi: Oh. What is this? Me: That’s a piece of paper. Sempi: Oh. What is this? Me: It’s a cigarette. Actually it’s a cigarette butt. Sempi: Huh? Do you keep it in the butt?...
Me: Do you like Superman? Sempi: No Me: How about Batman? Sempi: No Me: Who do you like? Sempi: Amma Me: Aww. Do you like Appa? Sempi: Yeah (matter of fact voice). Sempi: I like you when you’re at work. I don’t like you when you’re home. Me: o_O
Sempi insisted on doing laundry, helping put away the clothes and sweeping the floor. **Yoshi:**When did you become such a big boy? **Sempi:**Three minutes ago. Continues sweeping the floor with a big smile and a song. **Sempi:**I’m a street sweeper with a broom in my hand.
