All About Your Child

This is a continuation of yesterday’s post “Bathing“…

Keatkeat: “Mommy, I am very happy to see that you give me (he mimicked my 2 thumbs up). But on other days when you are not in the bathroom, I still bathe my normal way.”

Can You Imagine The Stare I Gave Him???!!!!

I call myself a sleep queen because the moment I am ready to sleep, I can sleep almost immediately, for many hours (my longest record was 16hours)  at anywhere (once in the toilet) and in any position. *giggle*

I was lying beside my boys… Fell asleep before them… Was suddenly woken with a big shake from Keatkeat…

Keatkeat: “Mummy! Wake Up! Wake Up!”

Me: “What?” Still semi-conscious…

Keatkeat: “You are lying on my pillow.”

I pushed the pillow back to him and ready to climb back to my bed but was stopped by the little hand…

Keatkeat: “EEeeeeeeee…….. Your saliva is on my pillow!!!! So wet! How to sleep?! EEeeeeeee……”

NOW I’m awake because of embarrassment. I stripped the pillow case from the pillow and threw it to the corner, thinking that it would appease him enough so that I can get back to sleep.

I was wrong…….

Keatkeat: “Eeeeeeee…… my pillow is still wet!!! You got so much saliva!”

Super embarrassed and awake, I took the pillow away and said: “You have 2 pillows anyway, sleep with one tonight. Will wash this tomorrow morning.”

Keatkeat: “Wash properly ok! If not will be very smelly….”

*screeeeaaammmm* Find me a hole to hide in!!!

Me: “Binbin, can you not hold my wrist this way? I’m not an old woman you know? Let’s hold hands.”

Binbin: “I scared you fall down.”

Me: “I am not wearing high heels shoes, will not fall down. Come, let’s hold hands properly.”

Holding hands the proper way…

Binbin: “I will hold your wrist when you become an old auntie.”

Me: “Alright. But now, I am a young auntie.”

Binbin: “huh?! You are young aunite? Then I am a Super Young Uncle ah!”

Me: *huge laugh* “Yes, yes, yes, SUPER young uncle indeed.” *huge laugh*

Keatkeat: “Mommy, I was a car when I run from there to here leh!”

Me: “Cool! It was pretty fast.”

Keatkeat: “You know why?”

Me: “Because you ran very fast?”

Keatkeat: “No… Because I fart all the way! Just like the black smoke from the exhaust pipe of the car.”

Me: *eyes-rolled*

Lying side by side having our usual ‘before bedtime chat’.… Noticed he was ‘playing’ with his shaky teeth as we chatted…

Me: “Keat, I suggest that you do NOT shake your teeth just before bedtime, in case it drop off while you are sleeping and swallowed them.”

Keatkeat: “Will I die?”

Me: “Naahhh…won’t die, just that I can’t keep it in a bag for you to keep.”

Keatkeat: “Oh yes! I need to put it below my pillow for the fairy to find it.”

I have NEVER mentioned Tooth Fairy to him before, so my eyes widened and asked: “How did you know about the Fairy?”

Keatkeat: “She is called ‘Tooth Fairy’. I saw her in the cartoons. If she can find a tooth under my pillow, she will give me money. I want $100! Do you think she knows that I want $100? How can I let her know?”

Me: “You are talking to her now.”

Keatkeat: “Huh? You!? You are tooth Fairy ah? But tooth Fairy got wings leh.”

Me: “My dear, those are in the stories. Not real dear. The one who truly picks up your tooth and put money under your pillow would be me.”

Keatkeat: “So are you going to give me $100? or just a $1 coin?”

*giggle* My son knows me well. *wink* He knows I’ll never give a $100 just like that.

Me: “Well, its meant to be a surprise. So till you put your tooth under your pillow, then you’ll know.”

Keatkeat: “Oh No!!!”

Me: “What??!!”

Keatkeat: “I have 2 pillows! Which one should I put under?! What if you can’t find the tooth? Then I cannot Kaching already!”

*faint*

BinBin (4 year old): “What did you eat in school today?”

Keatkeat (6 year old): “Biscuits.”

Binbin: “Huh??!!”

Keatkeat: “BISCUITS!!!“

Binbin: “What is That?!”

Keatkeat: “Huh?! BISCUITS!!!!! You don’t know what is Biscuits ah?!”

Binbin: “Oh! Biscuits! You should say Bah, Bah, Bah…Make that ‘B’ sound! Biscuits start with ‘B’ you know? Cannot hear your ‘B’ sound leh!? Say again. Come, say properly. Bbbb…Biscuits!”

Keatkeat: “I only say 3 times! Not more than that! I don’t want to keep repeating!”

*giggle* Hey! That’s my line, alright!!! (Parents beware of what you say to you kids. They pick it up so fast.)

A 4 year old teaching a 6 year old how to pronounce. *laugh*

On Monday, Allan instructed Binbin to ask his teacher for the total number of children in his class, so that we could prepare his Birthday Goodies Bag for him to distribute on Tuesday.

After school….

Allan: “Binbin, so do you know how many children are there in your class?”

Binbin: (Spoke with confidence) “18. Including me.”

Allan: “So how many boys and how many girls are there?”

Binbin: (Spoke with EXTREME certainty) “19 boys and 19 girls.”

*Super Faint*

Binbin: “Can we go ‘Snow Wash’?” (that’s how the petrol stations call it)

Me: “Its raining. The sky is helping us to wash the car.”

Keatkeat: “But that is dirty water. Rain comes from sea water right? The sun sucks up the sea water. Then make clouds. Then when clouds become too heavy, it rain. So rain is dirty water.” (he remembered seeing rubbish floating on the sea.)

Me: “Keatkeat, when the sun sucks up the sea water, it is sucking up the water, not the dirty things too.”

Keatkeat: “So its like Divide! (there goes his mathematics language again) The cloud separate the dirty things from the water. So rain is not dirty. So good, don’t need to pay money and can wash the car.”

***Oh well, I did not want to go into the Chemical part of it though.
