"Have an apple!", said Papi to the Little Girl.
"Why Papi?", asked the Little Girl.
"The Apple will make you have good white teeth, you like white teeth?", asked Papi.
"The downstairs neighbor has brown teeth Papi, he does not eat apples?", asked the Little Girl.
"Yes, that is right, he does not eat apples!", answered Papi.
"And the lady we pay things at the supermarket as yellow teeth, she does not eat apples?", asked the Little Girl.
"Yes, that is right, she does not eat apples!", answered Papi.
"I don't want to have yellow or brown teeth Papi", said the Little Girl.
"Then Papi will get you an apple everyday for breakfast!", said Papi.
"Yeepee!", shouted the Little Girl.
"What do we eat for a cold and running nose Papi?", asked the Little Girl.
"For that we need to have an orange or orange juice!", said Papi.
"I want orange juice Papi!", said the Little Girl.
"Why, have you a cold?", asked Papi.
"No, but Pink Girl and Blue Boy have a cold, they don't drink orange juice?", asked the Little Girl.
"Probably not everyday, let's get you an orange juice!", said Papi, "Do you want a banana Little Girl?"
"Why do I need a banana Papi?", asked the Little Girl.
"The banana gives you a lot of energy, you can play a long time in the playground if you have a banana!", said Papi.
"Yes! I want a banana, I want to play forever in the playground!"

The Little Girl did not like to fly in the plane. The Little Girl had to sit down for a very long time. And when the Little Girl wanted to play, Papi and Mami told her to be quiet.
"I don't want to fly anymore... it's boring!", said the Little Girl when they got out of the plane.
Soon the Little Girl saw another Little Girl and went to play.
"Let's play, let's play copycat", suggested the Little Girl.
The other girl did not understand the Little Girl, she just shrugged her shoulders, universal sign of not understand... or not caring...
The Little Girl insisted making funny monkey faces, "Let's play copycat."
The other girl approached her mummy, "That Girl is saying strange things", told the other girl to her mother in the same language the Little Girl usually talked with her own mother.
The Little Girl approached the other girl once more, and insisted "Let's play copycat!", and the other girl to her mummy, "See, she speaks funny.!"
The Little Girl could not understand the confusion in the other girl, and why she said to her mother that she talked funny.
The Little Girl went back to Papi.
"Papi, that girl does not talk the language of the kids, she only talks grownup language...", complained the Little Girl to Papi.
"Little Girl, in this place, the language of the kids is the same language you and Papi speak.", explained Papi.
"Ah! This place is silly, the cartoons on TV are in kids language or in grownup language ?"
