Soon he'll want a cell phone...

Binbin had his first phone conversation yesterday. He has "talked" on the phone before, but never really had a conversation that involved listening and accurately responding to questions and communicating with the other end. Last night he talked to Yima (De-nin's aunt). Of course, this is the beginning of a long campaign toward getting his own Apple iphone.

A loose transcription follows:

姨媽:你吃飯了嗎?
斌斌:還沒有了。
姨媽:告訴你媽媽你要吃飯。你一定要吃多一點才會張大。
斌斌:好了。
姨媽:明天見。拜拜。
斌斌:拜拜。

(For those Chinese challenged individuals.)

Yima: Have you eaten dinner yet?
Binbin: Not yet.
Yima: Tell your mom that you want to eat. You should eat a little more so you'll grow up.
Binbin: Ok.
Yima: See you tomorrow. Bye bye.
Binbin: Bye bye.
