My kids never cease to make me laugh with some of the things they say. They're just so cute and sometimes I wonder where they learn how to say some of those things they say.
Nanny trying to wake L up on a rainy morning, and L refusing to wake up
L: The bird is not singing yet
Nanny: It's raining so the bird won't come out
L: The dog is not barking yet
L playing with my access cards in the car on the way to po-po's house
L: Where's the other card <she dropped it behind her>
Me: Oh don't lose mommy's cards <while feeling around her seat>. There it is, please hold it properly
L: What's the card doing in mei mei's pi gu (buttocks)? Silly card...
I have this problem with H as the weekly library book he gets from school keeps going missing. I swear the book goes into his bag every monday morning, but somehow it's always not in the dedicated box for book returns
Me: Do you know where you have to return the library book?
H: In the communication box. The communication book and library book go into the box
Me: Ok, you have to remember to put both books into the box then. <Gesturing with my hands> In goes the communication book and then in goes the library book
H: It's not my fault if kakak doesn't put the book in my bag
That's not true cos I know kakak always puts his book in his bag. Reminder to self: must teach him about taking responsibility
To make H go to bed early, I came up with a rule for bedtime stories
Me: This is mommy's new rule. If you get ready by 8pm, you get 3 books; 8:30pm 2 books; 9pm 1 book; 9:30pm no book
H: Daddy won't get any books cos he always comes back so late
H is always reluctant to participate in class so sometimes I have to tell him that mommy's paid and it's expensive so he has to participate. On the way to school one day...
H: Did you pay for my school?
Me: Yes, so that you can learn.
H: Do adults have to go to school?
Me: No, only little children go to school, adults go to work
H: Do you have to pay to go to work?
