Don't Listen!

Yesterday while I was puttering around in the bathroom, I could hear Todd talking animatedly with Opa in the bedroom next door. Of course I didn't understand a word he was saying, as he was rapidly speaking Chinese, but once in a while he threw an English word in there and I could make out "Disneyland" and "balloons".

So I popped into the bedroom so I could get a better look/listen. Todd immediately ordered me: "Close the door. All the way!"

I pointed out that I just wanted to hear him telling Opa his stories!

To which Todd replied: "No! You talk to Oma" (Oma was in the kitchen)

I pressed on: "I can't listen to Pao-pao's stories?"
He said: "No!"
I asked "Why not!?"
His reply? "You listen Chinese!"
(in other words, he's speaking Chinese with Opa, which Mommy wouldn't understand anyway) :-D
