It's been a while since I had reproduced Madam's golden words of wisdom here, but this one couldn't be ignored!
During a relaxed mom-daughter time...
Me: Why do you not play with me when your Papa is around? When he is around, you only play with him.
Madam: Because I can't be good to two people at the same time. It's like.. TWO people. How can I take care of two people at the same time?
Me: Uhm... why not?
Madam: Just imagine, what if you have two children? Can you take care of both of them at the same time? This child wants something, then that child wants something. How can you manage both? It is very difficult.
Me: Well..but Papa and I are not your children...
Madam: OK, what if you have two bosses? How can you take care of both of them at the same time? This boss wants something, then that boss wants something. It will be so confusing!
Me: Yes, I get it. Thanks.
Also, in another situation...
Madam : Mummy! You need to take care of me! I am your child! And you are my family! And my family is supposed to take care of me!!
All this simply because I was a bit late in helping her wear her shoes!
