Kids say the darnest things...
-
DS2 is almost 2.5 year old now.
We bought the boys each a penguin at the bird park and DS1 named his penguin Polar, male, 6 years old (same age as DS1).
DS2 named his penguin 'This' (couldn't extract other details out from DS2 due to his limited vocabulary at this point in time). But he is darn sure his penguin's name is 'This' cos we asked him many times by rephrasing our questions.
Told our lady tenant the names of the boys' penguins, but somehow she forgot about DS2's penguin's name. She only managed to remember that DS2's penguin's name is 'often used in daily sentences'.
Conversation between my tenant and DS2 one morning (when DS2 came running to her to show off his 'smelly' penguin).
Tenant: Wow, nice penguin
DS2: *hugs the penguin even more*
Tenant: Err... wat is this toy's name?
DS2: *Looks at her* (we suspect bec DS2 finds it weird that the auntie ask about the name, though she already said out his penguin's name)
Tenant: Err... I mean, is the name of THIS toy called 'Now'?
DS2: *Looks at her as his eyes grew larger and looks at his 'This'*
(after a while)
DS2: PENGUIN!
My tenant was like :stupid:, of course it's a penguin.
But after we told her it's name, she suddenly realised that she was the funny one. She was laughing at herself and :oops:. -
DD2 came into our room one
night as hubs and i were chit
chatting together…
She casually leaned over us
and said this…
"Heyya buds and buds hubs,
watcha doin’…" -
buds:
:!: :lol:
\"Heyya buds and buds hubs,
watcha doin'...\" -
buds:
Hee hee... \"just chatting\" - this is the same one who asked about your happy marriage??!?! :celebrate:DD2 came into our room one
night as hubs and i were chit
chatting together..
...
\"Heyya buds and buds hubs,
watcha doin'...\" -
Yes. From the same DD who mentioned
the \"happy marriage\" thingy... :roll:
Guess that shows how often both of us
are on KSP when the kiddies are still awake.
She also asked why we didn't use our real names
and pictures. So to me at least, it was a fantastic
time to explain to her the anonymity part on
cyberspace networking (etc) which she
absorbed with much wide-eyed interest.
She now knows how to ask to see/read certain
threads on KSP when i'm on... She also asks me
whether the mummies i've helped advise on the
subjects of reading, or math and stuff have managed
to get them done successfully or whether their kiddies
can now read or count effectively or not in result of those
sharing sessions of mine...
She's too young to sign up for KSP membership lah.

I was probably 4 yo when this happened. My father once asked me if I was born in the year of the pig, and I said yes. After that, he asked me if I was a 猪八戒. I wondered for a while as I had no idea what or who was that. Eventually I said yes. :faint: :faint:
P/S: I was far from being fat, more like a skinny monkey actually -
As compared to us, our kids these days are smarter, but sometimes to the embarrassment of the parents.
DD was 4 yo when I would at times get quite frustrated for failing to get her to do certain things, like playing the violin, doing her maths worksheets from shichida, etc. When I was at my wits' end to motivate her (basically she is a very care-free girl and totally non-kiasu), I tried to tell her that she has to study so that she would have a good job in future and make enough money to buy the things that she wants; that Mummy and daddy would not be able to keep buying things for her. Once, DH decided to take that further. He said to her that if she doesn't study, she could clear rubbish and become like the cleaner lady who sweeps/mops the floor at our place and have no money. When he said that, I raised my eyebrow and thought that was too much.
Then one morning, as DH and DD went into the lift, they met the cleaner lady who was mopping floor in the lift at that time. DD looked at DH, smiled knowingly and whispered rather loudly \"no money!\". :shock: :shock:
DH was so embarrassed and tried to make up some other context that would seem to explain why DD said \"no money!\"
:oops:
When he told me the incident, I could only say to him, \"Serve you right!\". :rotflmao:
