Got Feng Come To You Or Not?

The other day, I was spending the night at my mum's house with Ace and I asked him to please help me switch on the fan...

After pressing the button, he came to me and asked me, "Got feng come to you or not?" (I think he meant if I could the feel the wind blowing at me) and I pretended to sleep (cos he wanted to go on playing even though I was dead tired and it was already way past bedtime...

So he came to my ears and repeated, "Got feng come to you or not? Got feng come to you or not?" and giggled...

So I 'woke up' and went to his ears and repeated, "Got feng come to you or not? Got feng come to you or not?" and so, this has become our own special game...

I did explain to him that it is bad english to add chinese words and that "Got wind come to you or not" is not grammatically correct. But I think Ace likes it cos he is easily amused by it...

I was just told by his teacher that they are trying to correct his bad habit of using nonsensical words like Pang Sai, Da Bian.. etc.. But i also realized tat children his age are all like tat! Cos Ace had a field of a great time laughing while he and his swimming classmates (who are between 5-8 years old) tried to fight it out and see who can come up with a better nonsensical word like shee shee, da bian, bang sai..
