The mother and son

Overheard a conversation between a 4-year-old son and mother in the ward while I was reading bed ticket.

.

Son was admitted for fits and mother was taking care of him. Mother poured water into a cup and handed over to him. Spoken in Mandarin:

.

"Mummy, you drink..." The son lifted the cup to his mother.

.

"Mummy doesn't want to share with you, I cough seriously." *Aww... how sweet!*

.

Son took a sip, gurgled and threw it back into the cup.

.

"Eh, you do it again! I beat you ah..." Mother warned.

.

She just sounded exactly like my mother, with a similar tone and expression. I miss her.
