New Car, Old Car, Papa’s Car, Mommy’s Car…

Hubby got a car when he first came over here and now that I’m here with the girls, he decided to get another for our convenience.

When we went to collect the new car, I dropped hubby off at the dealership and started to leave to go back home. As I began to drive off, Jun Lee told me “Mommy, stop, don’t go. Wait for Papa.” I told her that Papa is collecting the new car and would drive back himself later but she insisted that we should wait. It was sweet of her, thinking her father would be left behind. I explained the situation again and they now understood and were excited about the new car.

Since then they would call hubby’s car “new car” and mine as “old car”. It’s been more than a month now and they still call it that way. They are always happy to ride in the new car as that’s when all of us go out together on weekends.

We've taught them to call the new car as Papa’s car and the other as Mommy’s car, and also explained to them that Papa’s car is a Ford and Mommy’s is a Toyota. So now they call them the “Ford car” and “Toyota car” respectively.
