Huang Sha

She is 22 months old. May be two and half feet in height, cheeks touching her shoulders, with ten teeth, and big eyes. She ties her hair like little fountain on the head. She sings - big time -than talking, like her mother.
When her grandpa asks her, “How many sparrows are in Grandpa’s house?” She covers her eyes with one hand and with another hand; she shows ‘TWO’….One day on the phone I heard ‘Hissss…’, ‘Hissss…’. I was wondering is it my breath echoing? Anything wrong with the connection? And I heard that It was her, making a snake out of her tiny hand giving me the snake bites over the phone…
If I sing the first stanza of the rhyme, she completes the second half. When her uncle lifts her, she loves punching his face, with special sound effects – POM POM POM
I call her Huang Sha (to her Chinese looks) – she tries to repeat her name, and her father justifies her flat nose “Because for honeymoon, we had gone to Darjeeling” :-D
