Tales with my dad

1. One night we are all out in our old 1984 Toyota Corolla and my dad was driving. The windscreen was misting up and we were asking him to wipe the windscreen.  He turned the wipers on a few times but of course it was still misty . We kept saying wipe dad.  Then he finally exclaimed exasperatedly " Cannot! Is inside ah! "

2. Once after a big festive dinner.. I can't remember if it was Christmas or a Chinese festival, we are all sitting around the table with overfull stomachs.  Suddenly my dad quipped " nu neng mo xia ice cream hoh?" meaning "you guys don't want ice cream right ?" 
Our eyes suddenly lit up. We all turned around, " ice cream?!"
But there was none.  
Turns out he walked past ice cream at the super market earlier and decided not to buy any.  And he was trying to verify whether his decision was correct.
