All About Your Child

Whenever a fire breaks out in one of the many forests in Indonesia, Singapore becomes really hazy….

Binbin: “Aiyo! Mommy, look at the Sky! Many people are smoking today! So smoky. Many people are going to be very sick and die….”

Do you have a child whose words make you go “Huh?!”

Or a child whose sentences make you laugh out loud most of the time?

I have, but I have not been posting enough of them on my blog. I remember the last ‘good‘ example of how amusing my Binbin is (to me), was when we had ice-cream on Ben and Jerry Free Cone Day.

Today he told us something which was just as senseless as what he said that day:

Binbin: “I will be a dog the whole day tomorrow.”

Allan: “Why?”

Binbin: “Because tomorrow I am going to eat at that new Sushi place.”

Allan and I: “Huh?!”

Me: “What has that got to do with being a dog the whole day?”

Binbin: “Because I will be sooooooooooo happy!! When I am happy, I will be a dog the whoooooolllllle day! Ruff Ruff. Mommy look at me!!! My two hands curl up infront and my tongue sticking out. *panting*”

*Faint*

Keatkeat: “Mommy, when I eat 2 pieces of Chicken, I am drinking two scoops of oil.” (Note: its NOT a question. Its a statement)

Me: “Who told you that?”

Keatkeat: “Mrs L. (his teacher). She said chicken is made of oil. So eating two pieces of chicken is drinking two spoonful of oil.”

***Maybe one day, Keatkeat will start having my kind of diet. *Smile*

Binbin: “Mommy, I cannot find my Cute Little Baby.”

Me: *Sigh* “Since you love him so much, you should take good care of him and not lose him so many times. Imagine if I lose you whenever we are out of the house, how would you feel?!  Luckily, I forbid you to bring him out of the house. Imagine if you lose him when you bring him out, how are we going to find him?!”

Binbin: “I got take good care of him. But I have bad memory wat, how to remember? (he shook his head a little and continued) *sigh* My Cute Little Baby is so Ke-lian (pitiful in Chinese), because he has a poor-memory-father.”

***Binbin NEEDS his Cute Little Baby whenever its eyes-shut-time.

Allan: “Put the sticks in the pencil case.”

Binbin: “Where is the pencil case?”

Allan: “Its right in front of You!!!”

Binbin: “Where?”

Allan: “There!!!” (Pointing to it)

Binbin: “Aiyo!!! This is NOT a pencil case lah! Its a Stick Case. We put sticks inside, so its a STICK CASE!!!”

2pm

Keatkeat: (just came out from ‘Bombing‘ that ‘pool’) “Mommy, where’s Papa?”

Me: “Sleeping.”

Keatkeat: “Papa is not born in the year of the pig, why is he so lazy? He is born in the year of the rabbit. Are rabbits lazy?”

Me: “Have you heard of the story of the race between the rabbit and the tortoise?”

Keatkeat: “Ohhh… Yes!!! The rabbit didn’t win the race because he slept. So Rabbits ARE LAZY!!!”

*laugh*

Binbin: “Orange orange orange…Mommy, its orange time.”

He fed me and my face crumpled and eyes twitched under the sourness.

Binbin: “Mommy, what’s wrong?”

Me: “Its very sour.”

Binbin: “Orange is sour wat.”
(“Orange SHOULD taste sour, so why the big fuss/reaction?!” was what he meant. Blame it on Singlish.)

*huge laugh* Yes yes yes…. Little does my boy know that his Mommy’s threshold for sourness is extremely low.

**Remember how in love he is with his orange? Forgot? Watch this video…

Papa: “Keatkeat! How did you do it?! I tried to login to the game so many times and I couldn’t, but you could do it on first try… What did you do?”

Keatkeat: “My mind can control the computer.”

Papa: “Dearie! We have a Mind Freak at home!”

*laugh*
