Kids say the darnest things...
-
We invited a little friend over our place last weekend to hang out with
the girls and play Wii together.
It is after all the end of exams... so
we thought it'd be good for everybody to get some chill out time.
We have never failed to emphasize the importance of locking the strap
to the children so naturally and likewise with our little guest, we did the
usual run through orientation of usage just like we do with our girls.
3 girls, hubs and i entertained the girls and played bowling with them.
After which i said i told hubs i wanna finish folding the clothes just for a
bit cause i was almost done. I told the girls again remember to lock the
strap ok. Uncle will help you, auntie need to finish up something.. they
all nodded and resumed their game shrieking and giggling like the little
girls they were.
Less than 10 minutes later, i heard a scream. Not shrieks. Not giggles.
Then silence. Thinking that hubs was outside i didn't come out. It was
quiet for a long time. Oh well... i carried on with what i did & finally was
done. As i was about to go outside, DD2 came in..
DD2 : Mummy, you always tell us to tell the truth about everything right?
Me : Yesss...
DD2 : And that it's not good to lie...
Me : Yesss...
DD2 : You usually don't scold me when i own up to what i did.. so i'm
going to tell you the truth about something.. but this one you might
get angry lar..
Me : Spill it girl!
DD2 : I'm sorry... so sorry... I'm so very sorry that i dropped your remote..
Me : You WHAT?
DD2 : Please please please don't get angry with me... i really didn't mean it.. i really forgot...
Me : For the guest mebbe la.. but for you should be automatic you know.
Me : :roll: Sigh... issit spoiled... broken... jammed... anything?
DD2 : No it's not, still can play mummy. Sorry i dropped it.. Will you forgive me?
Me : (With an aching heart) Chest pain a bit la... hearing you drop my remote..
but yes, i forgive you and thanks for telling me the truth. :hugs:
DD2 : Thank you mummy, thank you..
Then i hugged her and the shrieking continued.. :love:
I went back outside and sat with hubs. He asked...
Hubs : Did she tell you?
Me : About the remote... that she dropped it issit? Yes.
Hubs : She did? Did she tell you how...? How she dropped the thing?
Me : Errr... whaddya mean how? :idea:
Hubs : I mean how the remote dropped?
Me : How else could it drop right? She dropped it down on the floor la right?
Hubs : Err no.
Hubs : You heard the girls screaming right? Then suddenly quiet right?
Me : Yeah...? So...
(The girls were all quiet now and DD2 was looking at her daddie telling on her)
Hubs : It was her turn to bowl and while she shrieked and swung, your
remote swung from there (one end of the room) to THERE! (Pointing to
the crime scene) It almost hit the TV console before hitting the floor, not
carpet.
Me : :!: :!: :!:
Me : You. Little girl. Inside!
Me : (Back in the room) You failed to furnish me the details... hmm... so
that wasn't 100% telling of the truth, huh? D'ya know how expensive a
Wii is, huh?
DD2 : Yaaah... but you used KiasuPoints to get it right, and that's not real money.
Me : :whut:
Me : :!:
Me : :x
Me :rotflmao:
Me : You think you very smart right? :laugh: (Joke's on me, huh?) :roll:
DD2 : But it's true right?
Me : Ya lah, but that doesn't mean you can do anyhow with it whhaaaat..
DD2 : How much is a replacement remote?
Me : $60 + i think.
DD2 : Then next time when there's another auction again, you bid for
the replacement remote and win it laa.. then no need to use money.
Needless to say, and too long too post here... i had to \"counsel\" her
again with regards to $ issues that she has taken muuuch \"too\" lightly. :roll:
Haaaiz.. Kids. -

Was doing comprehension with my P2 student earlier in the day when he asked me the meaning of \"memories\".
Me: Memories means you remember the things you have done when you were young.
Student: :? But I AM young.
Me:
Ok, then I should say things that you remember when you were younger.
Student: I don't have much memories cos I was too young.
Me: :faint: :wrongmove:
