My MIL told me this a few days back. She saw Sze Yi lying at her bed and mumbling something to herself. That was after she got scolded by hubby & me for doing something naughty which I couldn't remember now. Curious, she asked Sze Yi what was she saying. Here's how the conversation went.
MIL: What are you saying there, Sze Yi?
Sze Yi: I'm talking to Jesus.
MIL (surprised): What are you telling Jesus?
Sze Yi: Gei Amah de jiao mei you tong tong liao (let Amah's leg no more pain pain)
MIL (touched): Gao...Jesus kong Amah ka e hou boh? (Did Jesus say Amah's leg will heal?)
Sze Yi: Beh, Jesus say beh (Cannot, Jesus say cannot)
Aren't she cheeky? You see, I've been teaching her how to say her night prayers. After Amah had a fall that day, we would pray for her leg to heal faster. Besides that, I also taught her to pray for the rest of the members of the family. And she would add on her own - also for 2nd Chik Chik's Jie Jie, 3rd Chik Chik's Jie Jie, and Chiu Chiu's Jie Jie. 3 Jie Jie in total. She was referring to their girlfriends, of course!
After I've completed the prayers with her, she would normally ask me.
Mommy, what did Jesus say?
I would say, "Jesus said Ok."
But, I didn't know what makes her say that Jesus said Amah's leg cannot be cured! And here's another funny part.
MIL: You pray to Jesus one ah? Not Puchuma meh? (she was referring to our Goddess of Mercy).
Sze Yi: No, I pray to Jesus one.

Ooo, clevel girl!
Alex only knows how to put her hands together and say 'Amen'.
That is very clever too :)
She is so intuitive! Hehe...but why hor, she didn't tell her Ah Ma that Jesus said OK? :P
This is a very good learning process. Charlotte does that too every night for her bedtime prayer.
I guess she's just being naughty :) I asked her again last 2 nights after I said a prayer with her, "did Jesus said Ok?" She said Yes, Jesus said Amah's leg will heal.
She is so cute. You should blog more often.
