Adorable But Annoying Creature

God gave me a package 2 years ago. It comes with a tag that reads :

Care Instructions :
1. To be fed atleast 3 times a day
2. Shower with lots of truly loving care and affections.
3. When he whines, it is just a way of showing that he misses you
4. When he cries, it is just a way of showing that he needs to be hugged
5. Lastly, love him as much as I love you

Warning labels :
1. Do not lose your temper. He will learn from you
2. Do not leave him alone unattended. He has the ability to mess up the house within 10 minutes
3. Do not use profanities in his presence. He comes with sufficient memory space to record
4. Do not play with sharp objects. He might accidentally hurt you.
5. Do not hit him on the face. He will bite back
6. Do not force him to eat vegetables. He will grow up detesting it

God missed out one thing. He didn't mention anything about annoying being part of the package?!?!? Haha .. this is what happened.

It was 12.30 midnight and Ivan is still awake.

[Ivan] : Mummy, Ivan drink water.

[me passing him the bottle] : Ok ...

[Ivan speaks with the teat in his mouth] : Ivan drink, can?

[me] : sure can

[Ivan still with the teat in his mouth] : can, mummy? can?

[me] : yes Ivan. can ...

[Ivan] : Ivan drink kukh kukkh * can? can?

[me] : ........................

[Ivan] : mummy ... can? Ivan drink kukkh kukkh. can? can?

[me] : Are you done Ivan?

[Ivan] : Done.

And I took the bottle away from him. 3 minutes later ...

[Ivan] : Mummy, Ivan drink water

[me] : But you just drank ..

[Ivan] : Ivan drink water ... !

[me feeding him with water again] : Ok ok ...

[Ivan] : Mummy, Ivan drink kukkh kukkh, can? can?

[me] : ........................

*kukkh kukkh : translated as water in Ivan's dictionary.
