because sometimes it gets tiring, and sometimes i lose focus and i cant seem to absorb anything. So i cheer myself up, i take a break. and what do i do during those breaks? (: i read karen cheng's blog. but not just her random posts, the parenting & kids section. gosh, it makes my day. Darling, darling kids.
5 yo: (In his sweetest voice) Hey Sean! Do you want to play a game?
3 yo: Ok, but only a FRIENDLY game.
5 yo: Let’s play dinosaurs. I’m going to be a T-rex. I’m fast and really dangerous. You have to kill me.
3 yo: That’s not very friendly.
5 yo: Oh. That’s a dinosaur way of being friendly.
3 yo: But if I kill you, I’ll have no friends left. I want to play cats.
5 yo: What about CAT dinosaurs? I can run on ground and you have to catch me and then kill me!
3 yo: No! I’m going lick you instead!
5 yo: Arrrrggghhh! Help! Your licking is killing meeeeee!
3 yo: STOP! WAIT! DON’T DIE! I’LL HAVE NO FRIENDS!
5 yo: OOOOH I’M MELLLTING!
Of course, Sean is a boy, and I know that boys are interested in weapons, but still, I just felt that I needed to have a talk with Sean about how guns are very dangerous in real life, unlike in games and movies.
So we sat down after school for a TALK.
Sean was so proud that I wanted to talk about his drawing, but when I mentioned the gun, he was shocked.
“But Mum, it’s not a gun. It’s YOU with your hair-dryer! Can’t you SEE??”
Oh. Well, okay then.
loooooolMy preschooler said to me, “HEY MUM! What’s a ghost?”
“It’s a… well. Um… lets see.”
I was trying to make a tricky right hand turn while considering whether it was a good idea to tell my child about spirits, death, heaven, the afterlife, and lost souls haunting the earth. I mean, if this isn’t the height of progressive parenting, then I don’t know what is. However, he interrupted my deep contemplation.
“Are they just funny little monsters with blankets over their heads?”
“Yep. That’s exactly what they are, mate.”
