Kids say the darnest things...
-
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: -

This one from my P1 gal. She brought back her class assignment last night for parent's signature. There were some marks indicated on the front page for each section but no total marks and she was telling me she got full marks because the teacher mentioned what's the full marks for each section. While going through her work, I saw she made a mistake in one of the questions which the teacher never spotted and still mark her as correct.
Our conversation -
Me: See you so careless, copy from the question also can leave out one word, so how can be full marks
DD: Where, but my teacher mark all correct what (never bothered to look up as she's busy drawing her teachers' day cards)
Me: (showed her the question) There you are, see....
DD: Aiyo why my teacher so careless, never see properly, so how can you always scold me careless???!!
Me: :whut: :stupid: -
This was a couple of years ago when my son kept asking about the sun and moon.
DS: Mommy, where's the sun? Why the sun go down and the moon's turn to come up?
Mom: Hmm, cos the sun worked for the whole day, now have to go home and rest. Now the moon's turn to work lor.
DS: Oh.. ok... Mommy, what's our house number ?
Mom: It's #07-77 dear. (Happy that he finally change subject)
DS: Ok... oh... Mommy, what's the SUN's house number ?
Mom: :whut: :faint: -
My son hugs me and says " I love you " every night before he goes to bed.
Recently, I fell sick with flu and told him not to hug me in case he gets it and has to go to hospital (when they were still imposing quarantine) .
So, he said to me in his sweetest voice, " I love you with all my heart ā¦ even if you are in hospital with H1N1." -
I always headache with my gal who likes to take her own sweet time to finish a cup of water everyday.
Few days ago I said to her:\"Hey gal gal! I count to 10, if you don't finish your water, then I will ask you to finish another 10 cups of water!\" Wow... it worked! She finished her water in 1 minute!
Then last night after I finished telling them 2 stories before bed time, they requested 3 more stories. I said no! Mummy very tired. But my gal replied me,\"Hey mummy! I count to 10, if you not start to tell 3 more stories, then I want you to tell 10 more stories!\"
I said,\" :whut:\" :faint: -

Heheh... only goes to show what goes around comes around. So we must be very careful when we tell our children how much we are spending on them... we may be hearing the same words coming out from their mouths sometime in the future.I always headache with my gal who likes to take her own sweet time to finish a cup of water everyday.

Err... they have always been there
At one time, we were thinking of setting up a proper market place to replace the buy-sell forums where people get to create their own items to sell. Got side-tracked somehow.
