When I was very young, every time when I sat in front of the TV with my mom and dad, watching other kids of my age singing or dancing on stage, my parents would put comments like this,"oh look at the girl! She can really sing!" and then they turned to me, and asked me:"Can you sing like her on TV? ...oh look at her parents! they're so proud of her!"
My parents seems enjoy talking about other people's children. Mostly at the table when we are having dinner, they spend most of time talking someone's kids, kids of their friends, kids of their cousins."Hey, you know Tom's son? He's the same age as you, but he got the first prize on a national competition!" "You know Mary's daughter? The girl's even younger than you. She swims so good that she's in the school team now!" ...
