So somehow the subject of the word "doctor" came about, and Zatanna was explaining to Batlad how to say "doctor" in Chinese.
"Yi sheng," explains Zatanna.
Batlad responds excitedly, "That' me, Mommy. I'm Yisheng!"
Zatanna looks confused, so Batlad adds, "That's my name, Mommy. I'm Yisheng."
Still confused, Zatanna tries to explain to Batlad again, enunciating slowly, "No, [Batlad], it's 'yi - sheng'."
"But it IS like my name, Mommy," insists Batlad. "It's Yisheng. That's how Yeye says my name, Mommy. He says 'Yisheng'. I'm Yisheng."
And so this is really only funny if first, you understand Chinese; second, you understand that Yeye has a bit of a Chinese accent; and third, you know Batlad's English name.
