Night.
Trying to tuck Pup in after a long day.
The boy is still in overdrive mode after playing with iPad, coloring, practising violin and reading up on yet more volcanoes.
Pup: Can I sleep on your bed?
Me: Ok...
Pup (scrambles onto our bed with Snoopy in tow): Your bed feels better than mine.
Me: Really? Why?
Pup: Because I have you lying beside me...

A little later.
I wanted to reinforce the word "favourite" as I just corrected his spelling of it.
Me: Lele, you know what? You, Mei Mei and Jie Jie Jojo are my FAAAAAVOURITE children!
Pup: Why do you say that?
Me: Umm...because I love you and Mei Mei and Jie Jie Jojo.
Pup: Why do you love me?
Me: No reason. I just love you.
Pup: But there must be a reason, everything has a reason.
Me: Nope, no reason at all. I just love you, Mei Mei and Jie Jie Jojo. Even when you and Mei Mei are throwing tantrums, Daddy and Mummy love you. Even when we're very upset with you, we still love you.
Pup: Why when you are upset with me, you still love me?
Me: Well, it's because we love you that we get upset with you. See, when you are naughty, strangers won't get upset with you right? That's because they don't know you, they don't love you, so they don't care if you are good or naughty. Mummy and Daddy love you and care about you, so we get upset when we know you can behave well but you don't. Er...do you understand?
Pup: ...
Pup: Mummy...
Me: Hmm...?
Pup: How much do you love me?
Me (stretching my arms wide apart): I love you thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis much!
Pup: What's the number?
Me: It's uncountable. It's infinity.
Pup: Zillion?
Me: More than that!
Pup: Gazillion?
Me: More than that!
Pup: micvfwzubv-zillion?
Me: More than that!
Pup: Mummy...
Me: Hmm...?
Pup: 我爱你...
