Rahul: Mum, you want some of my grapes?
Me: Thanks Rahul. But I’m full, I just ate a lot of food.
Leila: You full? Is your belly hurting?
Me: My belly is OK. But it’s true, if you eat too much your belly can hurt. Also if you eat too little it can hurt. Eat a little bit. Eat well, but not too much.
Leila jumps off her seat, signs “a little” with her right hand.
Leila: Mama, little bit lollipop?
NO way. She got me. Nicely.
Me: NO lollipops! Yeah – only a little bit of lollipop. Sometimes.
