kawaii jie jie

While stopping at a traffic light on our way to dinner at Shinagawa tonight, i noticed that there were many people, predominantly females, crossing this particular traffic light.

Me : PaPa, is there a shopping mall nearby ? How come i see so many women crossing this traffic junction ?

before Papa could say anything,

Yuta (who was in the front passenger seat) : PaPa, there are many girls and kawaii jie jie crossing this traffic light ...

(kawaii in japanese means cute & jie jie in mandarin means elder sister)

it took a while to sink into me ..

Me : whoa Yuta, how do you tell which jiejie is kawaii and which jiejie is not ?

Yuta (silent for a moment and then begun to feel embarrassed) ： mama, dont talk to me like that ...

and he proceeded to hide his face

PaPa : Yuta clever boy na ...

wah seh ... my son is not yet five and he already knows ` kawaii jie jie` ... dont know if i should be happy or not ....
