Who is Ah Ma?

As our little girl is making sense of the world nowadays, mommy tries to introduce her to other members of the family. My mom was here for a short while when I delivered Sheri, but I know that our little girl has absolutely no recollection of my mom even though she took care of her when she cried in the middle of the night in the first two weeks after she was born. The only gift left by my mom that our little girl can relate to is the bolster that she has to hug every night to go to sleep. Whenever I see her hugging the bolster, I will always ask her, "Who made the bolster for you? " Without any hesitation, she will always reply, "Ah Ma!" Then, I will continue to ask her, "Who is Ah Ma?" Even though she may not appreciate the relationship between Mama and Ah Ma, she never fails to answer me that Ah Ma is mama's mommy as this was what I taught her. Unfortunately, she seems to be using the term 'Ah Ma' wrongly nowadays. She likes to call adults whom she meets 'Ah Ma'. Her favourite phrase is 'Bye, bye, Ah Ma!' Even though I try to correct her every time she does it, she does not seem to realise her mistake. It can be embarrassing at times. Fortunately, nobody here understands the term 'Ah Ma'. I guess this happens because she does not have the chance to interact closely with her grandparents ever since she was born. Sometimes, we cannot help but question ourselves whether we are depriving her of the chance to enjoy the love and affection from her grandparents. Perhaps, it's time to bring her home to meet other members of the family.
