All About Your Child

We were driving home after the Mothers’ Day celebration at my in-laws’ on Sunday night….

Keatkeat: “Mommy, D-U-C-K is ‘Duck’.”

Me: “Mm.”

Keatkeat: “T-R-U-C-K is ‘Truck’.”

Me: “Yes.”

Keatkeat: “Mommy, ‘Duck’ and ‘Truck’ rhymes right? Because both have ‘U.C.K.’?”

Me: “Yup.”

Keatkeat: “Mommy, what is ‘B-U-C-K’?”

Me: “Its a male deer. Male means boy-boy. Female means girl-girl. So ‘buck’ is a boy-boy deer.”

Keatkeat: “Mommy, then what is ‘F-U-C-K’?

The kids were sitting at the back, so Keatkeat didn’t see our jaws dropped! Allan and I looked at each other, speechless. I nudged Allan and gave him the ‘honour’ to answer that.

Allan: “Keatkeat, where did you learn that from?”

Keatkeat: “I want to find more words to rhyme with ‘Duck’. So I change the letter in-front. So ‘Fuck’ rhymes with ‘Duck’ right?”

I was giggling away as Allan continues….

Allan: “Keatkeat, its a vulgar language. Don’t learn. Not good.”

We were expecting him to ask ‘What is ‘vulgar?’. Surprisingly he didn’t. Maybe because Allan had already said that its ‘Not good and shouldn’t learn.’

I just hope he will NEVER say ‘Fuck rhymes with Duck‘ if his teacher EVER ask the class ‘Ok, children tell me all the words that rhymes with ‘Duck.”

*laugh*

Time changes, weathers too. People changes and sometimes that’s pretty sad too; but some things just don’t.

No matter which era you are from, generation X, Y or Z, the attractiveness of some things still remain powerful and strong. What in the world am I talking about???

I’m talking about them:-

Even the ‘old fashioned’ Mickey Mouse, with less vibrant colours, 2D images, nothing like the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse of the new Millenium; can still make my active boys stay rooted on their sofa till the cartoon of 30mins ended.

The cartoons I grew up with is part of my boys’ lives now; something which I didn’t expect.

Thank you, Cartoon Network for bringing back the good old laughter. Simple cartoons, with simple plots, good enough to attract the attention of the simple-minded children (Ooops, not sure about ‘the simple-minded’ part sometimes though)….

Some things just don’t change….ya?
