On the way to grandma’s house,
“Daddy look, look, Monster, Monster, arrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…..Ivan is so scared. Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrr” covered eyes with his tiny palm. (He was referring to the Dinosaur signboard)
Hubby was telling me this episode. Ivan talks very loudly nowadays; you can see nerve on his neck while he shouts. Daddy put his index finger on his mouth trying to lead him to speak softly.
He ranted out with thumping feet, “Why…you don’t understand….bla blab la…I will send you to Ms. Ho’s office”. When Sri trying to interrupt he said, “You too, send you to Ms. Ho’s office”. (Ms. Ho is his principle in kindy, if he fails to finish homework, he will be send there). * shake head *
That seems to be his way of dealing with comment he doesn’t like.
He took this pic with my hp.
Last night on the way home from mil’s place,
Ivan: Later, Ivan is gonna die….
US: Silence…
Daddy: Who taught you that?
Ivan: Never answer but continue with If Ivan die how? How? How?
Mommy: Ivan, enough edi, see there is a moon.
Wondering should I explain to him what death is.

Yeah, I’m also wondering when is the right time to teach them about death. I guess one will learn themselves when the time is right?

Maybe you should tell him, if die then cannot see mummy anymore. I bet he will not ever say it again.

When I showed my son the dinasour signboard, he responded by further highlighting the boys in the spaceship. I was shocked that he noticed the boys more than the big dinasour.. on a moving car some more!
Must be a TV influence.. sound serious, hor?
Scary if kids start asking serious questions like this.. have to start thinking how to answer them properly!
