papa tu me fait cuir? 爸爸你煮我好不好?

MM's recent obsession is to cook... not cooking chicken or veges, she wants to cook all her babies in the bilibo, and most of all, wants to cook herself.

the typical exchange with antoine was like this lately:
MM: papa tu me fait cuir? (papa can u cook me?)
Antoine: grumbled that it was barbaric, and suggested to play doctor.
and MM would insist until papa abides.


the passion to cook in the bilibo comes from a cooking drama developed collectively by mama, tatie, papou and MM. first MM was a snail or some sort of shelled animal. then mama caught her and started cooking her in the bilibo, tatie suggested recipes and things to add into. next thing was that we needed wine but did not have any. MM went to the wine merchant (papou) to buy some. Papou first picked MM's identity card issue (too young to drink wine), I gave MM my card, and papou decided to charge her double the normal price because he was selling to a minor. MM negotiated without success and paid, and when she come back with a bottle of wine to cook herself, we discovered that it was not wine but water. then we started complaning that Papou was such a reckless wine merchant.
