Another Tagalog funny

Last night at dinnertime ...

DH(talking to DD3): Hi Kulot! Kulot ka ba? (Hi Curly-hair! Do you have curly hair?)
DD2 blurts out: No me!!! Me kulit!!!

LOL!

(I don't think there is a suitable direct translation of the word "kulit" in English! Help me out will ya? Translate kulit to English.)

Hey Donna!
So, is it an Asian "trait" you think? Pester comes close but it does not quite capture the essence. Kulit is sometimes endearing and charming too, di ba?
