One Scene: "Go to the square, sing rhymes!" — Dad wrote over ten rhymes specifically for your daily life, and surprisingly, you learned them all at once. I wonder how Mom taught you; she’s really good. Yesterday morning, we planned to take a walk at the Broadcasting and Television Square. You pointed at us and said, "To go to the square, you must sing rhymes. I’ll teach you." At the square, you commanded, "Stand straight, follow my actions." Then, you recited a line, and we repeated it; you made a move, and we mirrored it. "The square is spacious and magnificent, the iron tower soars to the clouds. The fountain sprouts from the ground, the national flag flutters in the wind. Birds sing in the forest, winding paths encircle the garden." Clearly, you’ve already matched the words in the rhymes to the various sights at the square. That’s great. But your stature is too small, while your posture is too grand, like a little mouse directing an elephant.
Two Scene: "Deep 'Lu' eyes." — Dad wrote a rhyme titled "Eyes," and not only did you memorize it, but you also understood it, and not only did you understand it, but you applied it. You said, "Dad has light yellow eyes, Mom has bright black eyes, Ranran has deep 'Lu' eyes, and Mickey Mouse has big white eyes." Why 'deep 'Lu' eyes'? You explained, "Grandma calls me 'Lu Zhishen.'" Oh, I remember now. Because your head is big and round, and you even had a buzz cut in the summer, Grandma downstairs called your pair of "leopard eyes" something that would scare anyone who saw them. So she gave you the nickname 'Lu Zhishen,' and surprisingly, you still remember it. Indeed, Mickey Mouse’s eyes are big, and mostly white with little black, so they are white eyes.
Three Scene: "Why do people get sick?" — Yesterday, Mom got an IV drip and brought the infusion set home. This morning, you and Mom built a "Family Animal Hospital" together. You hung the infusion set under the stairs and surrounded a paper box with a circle of paper, calling it the "hospital’s walls." Then, you spent the whole day treating and giving shots to the little animals. You kept asking, "Why is Mom sick? Why does Mickey Mouse get sick too? Why do people get shots when they’re sick? Is it hot water? No, hot water is only for boiling pigs." At just two years old, you have so many "whys," which is quite a sight.
Four Scene: "Big handfuls, big handfuls." — Mom said Mickey Mouse got sick because he didn’t eat properly. After hearing this, you suddenly replaced your usual "wolf down" with "big handfuls." "Mickey Mouse, you should eat big handfuls." In reality, it was you who was eating "big handfuls." Strangely, we don’t know when you learned this term or where you picked it up. I guess you must think Mickey Mouse isn’t worthy of the "wolf and tiger" level.
