"wu bor?"

It has become my habit to check joshua's diaper to see if there is any poo before we go out or leave the house. One occasion, as usual, i pulled down his shorts, asked joshua boy, "wu pang sai bor?" He replied,"bor,"
SURPRISE! SURPRISE! SURPRISE!
i have not taught him any teochew, yet uttered that from him. Pappy & i speak a mixed of teochew, mandarin & english , while i use mandarin on joshua boy. I realise that he is beginning to pick up languages fast nowadays (remember joshua boy has not spoken a proper phrase yet), and mimic what pappy said. I better mind my words in future, especially with joshua boy around.
