Conversations with the kids

Another great haircut from Ann, the hairdressor.  $5 only.

EJ: Daddy, why the snail not moving?

Me: He’s tired.

EJ: Why he tired?

Me: Because he was crawling all day.

EJ: Why he crawl all day?

Me: He needs to work hard.

EJ: Why he work hard?

Me: He needs to survive.

Ej: Why he need to survive?

Me: He is slow that is why he needs to work harder.

EJ: But….. (suspense)…….. Why Daddy, Why?

Me: The lift is here. Let’s go.

En Jun is a curious kid.  For the past half year or so, you have been constantly bombarding everyone with your “Why” questions.  Its funny how even our neighbour, Sham’s bro, Shawn remarked, “stop asking me why, I don’t know how to answer your questions”.

The sale you been waiting for!

Ex: Daddy, I’m sorry.

Me: For what?

Ex: For being difficult at Smiggle (stationary store) just now.

Me: Its ok.

Ex: I cannot control myself. Can we don’t go Smiggle again.

Me: Why?

Ex: So many pink and pretty things.  I cannot control myself.  I want to buy everything.

Me: ………….. (I think she is turning into a shopaholic!)

En Xi is a sensitive kid.  You can throw quite a tantrum and be unreasonable at times.  Somehow, you just need to let off some steam to get over things that don’t go your way.  We can see that you are having trouble with emotional control and hope you can get better over time.  However, on the plus side, after you straighten your mind, you will always apologise and know where you have gone wrong.  Somehow, sometimes, Daddy feels like having another girlfriend in the house.
