        most terror twos are …


        they are more cranky since they could not express themselves well enough to be understood. And they know they can get their way by throwing tantrum.

          DD2 and I were doing some assessments couple of days ago.

          We came upon this sentence in her cloze passage... and she
          sorta struggled with it... much to my frustration. :frustrated:

          \"I have received a good pen from my brothers and sisters.
          My uncles and aunts have presented me _______ storybooks,
          socks and shoes, chocolates, cakes and stationery items.\"


          So, I was like trying all sorts of ways to explain to her so that
          she could understand/get it, but it seemed futile cos in one
          of my \"trying\" to explain, here's what happened... :roll:

          Just like when you are receiving a trophy during your sports day
          in Kindergarten, the Principal presented you with something rite.. :evil:
          (obvious clue) :roll:... so in this sentence, the same applies.

          He was given story books and etc etc for his birthday. Hence,
          he was presented........ (me pausing for the longest time....) :roll:
          Come on... you know this! What do you say/use when something
          is presented to you...?

          \"Errr... hmm... i know... say Thank You.\"

          :frustrated: Aaaarrggh! :frustrated:

          Eventually, i gave her 4 choice words and she got it right. To which
          she said, \"Hey, you actually gave me the clue just now when you
          were explaining it to me, right Mummy? I remember now..\" :stupid:

          I realised i led her to say that from how i phrased my so called
          \"explanation\"... so it's kinda my fault too. :oops:

            Agree. Terror twos.
            Will cry very loud when saying no to his request. 😐

                Sometimes, she is too smart for her own good. Luckily, sashimi and I are still ahead of her but I do wonder what kinds of rubbish DD1 will fill DD2's head with in the years to come. Sigh....

                schellen,
                welcome to my world. šŸ˜‰ šŸ˜›

                  DD2 and I were doing some assessments couple of days ago.
                  on the note on assessments, ds1 did one about Uncle A sweeping leaves into Uncle B's yard and Uncle B burns the leaves into fertilizers for his veg patch and then gave some of his harvest to Uncle A causing Uncle A's face to turn red (in embarassement). When the question asked about what Uncle A will do in the future, ds1's answer is
                  \"Uncle A will give Uncle B more leaves\". 😐

                  I said answer is \"Uncle A is so embarassed that he will not sweep leaves into Uncle B's yard again\", ds1 argued that question is asking for \"what Uncle A WILL DO in the future\". :roll:

                    Visited my sis during cny and gave ang pow to niece. Niece immediately tried to open it.


                    Sis: What are you doing?
                    Niece: I want to see how much big 'jiu jiu' give me.
                    Sis (sternly): When people give you ang pow, you can only open it at home, understand?
                    Niece: But now I at home wat
                    Sis: ??? :?
                    :rotflmao: :rotflmao: It's just like when I'm at my student's house. After tuition, sometimes I dismiss them by saying \"you can go.\" One student was confused and asked \"Go where?\". Another was like \" :? I'm at home, what do you mean? Go home?\"

                        Phonics disaster................ :lol: :lol: :lol:


                        Though dd has heard of the word \"vagina' many times, she may not have visualised it. So recently while walking on the streets....she gave out a loud yell suddenly...

                        dd:eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee....

                        me: what? what? what? (my head spinning around)

                        dd: \"Va-gi-na\" Hotel....what kind of hotel is that?

                        me: where?

                        dd: there...up there......

                        me: I looked up and burst into laughter.... \"Vir-gi-nia\" Hotel my dear....OMG....your eyes and your phonics do not tally....or maybe it's your brain....you choose to see \"na\" instead of \"nia\"

                        dd: kakakkakakakkakakkakakakakkakakakakakkakakakkakakkakakaka

                        She could not stop laughing at her own blunder for the whole night.....my silly kid... :rotflmao:
