吞下去

Last week, we had friends visiting & staying with us. In the morning, Uriah and the daughter of our friends were having milk and bread for breakfast. She was very slow in drinking her milk, and her father was rushing her to finish, so that they could get going. At one point, the girl was just keeping the milk inside her mouth, without swallowing. Uriah, sitting opposite to the girl, uttered out: "吞下去......" (pinyin: tun xia qu... meaning: swallow it) "吞下去......" "come on, please...."
I almost burst out laughing. That's what we always told him when he was not swallowing his food.
While we always think he should be saying more things like the other kids his age do... he does indeed learn a few things... and said them when we least expected it.
