the other day, ds1 was reading a book and that chapter involved the main character being suspended from school as he was seen threatening another boy (which was actually something else) with a pocket knife.
ds1 : mummy, what is the meaning of 'suspension'?
me : in this case, it means that the boy cannot attend school during that period of suspension cos he had done something wrong.
ds1 :? : no need to attend school? then the boy should be even more happy! what kind of punishment is this?!

ability to think out of context? my general feelings are how innocent kids can be at such times.
have i mentioned this before?...there was a time when ds1 will leave his stuff/paper craftwork lying around the house. then i told him that whatever stray items (belonging to him) i found on the floor, i will throw it into the rubbish bin. the next thing i know, he threw some pieces of small paper on the floor and told me that he did not need it any more and that i can throw them into the bin.

On Wednesday, we had the air-con servicing guy come over to service/clean the air-con. The company uses some sort of chemical cleaning that involves steam cleaning the air-con .....
DS: I want to see Uncle steam clean the air-con
Me: Okie, come and stand next to me enar the door
After a few minutes ....
DS: mummi, why must call the uncle to steam clean the air-con?
Mummi: Because a lot of dust has accumulated and etc ........ (gave him a thorough explanation to the best of my ability)
After I finished, he kept quiet. Then suddenly ....
DS: mummi, why cannot use mummi's rice cooker to steam clean the air-con? Mummi put rice cooker near air-con .... put plug in powerpoint .... on button .... then steam can come out and clean the air-con.
Me: :!: then :faint: -

Just went for my son's PTM mid this week. While the academics were good, he's apparently not been handing up work when he should. I asked him about it.
\"Well, it started after the March hols, before April. There was writing and I took a long time to complete my work. I decided not to hand it up because the teacher would get angry. But I wasn't caught! I kept not handing in without getting caught, so my neurons kept firing and firing, making a strong connection. Before I knew it, it became a habit. So now, I can't stop, \" he shrugged nonchalently.
