about full stops

Feb 02, 2009 11:36


just last night,
me: i am not joking with you (spoken sternly and meant it as a warning)
z : yes..mummy.. you are joking.. you see ' i am not full stop joking with you'.

this boy has 'twisted' the meaning of my sentence by changing the position of the full stop.  From "I am not joking with you!"  to   "I am not. Joking with you."  :S

that aside, wishing everyone a happy, healthy and prosperous Year of the Ox!!! 心想事成,万事如意!!
