After dinner, the girls and I were having a little conversation and S wanted to write a list of items which she wanted me to print it out for her science project.
She asked me to name a few types of flowers, trees, animals. Then S added, "Mummy, you must print out coloured pictures of sow and piglets, ma ma bear and baby bear, tiger and cubs, peacock and peahen......"
ME - Girl, wait. What is a peahen?
S - Aiya, Peacock is the boy so 'peahen' is the girl lor.....
ME - !!!!!! LoL (laugh out loud). (Hen = female?) and till now, 14 Feb, when I think of it, I'm still laughing......Peahen....Peahen.... she said it so matter of factly. So cute!
WAIT!!! I just checked the website... there's really a term called 'PEAHEN' = female peacock. But 'peahen' is a less common term. Oh! I feel so ashamed. My girl is more well informed than me. What a shame! I'm so proud of her. Must tell her this when I pick them up this evening. Will sure make her feel good.
