All About Your Child

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.)

Being thrifty can be a virtue, but being too thrifty can also cause embarrassment at times….

The strap-holder for Keatkeat’s old watch was lost on the very first day of school. Kids! *eyes rolled*

I tried to find a replacement for him, but to no avail. Thus I used a shortened rubber-band to act as the strap-holder.

Few weeks later, the glass dropped out. It was a super lucky day for Keatkeat to be able to find it back.

Allan and I chose to stick it back with Super-Glue. In the end, the ‘vapour’ or ‘acid’ from the glue blurred the glass.

It was until KeatKeat remarked that he cannot see the numbers clearly, that I realised there was no use in sticking to my ridiculous-thrifty principles, which was leaning more towards stinginess.

[LEFT] This WAS how Keatkeat’s watch looked like before I finally decided to buy him a replacement.

Yes, my 6 year old had been wearing this ‘awful’ watch to school for a number of days before he complained…before stingy Mommy finally decided to buy a new $3.50 watch for him [BELOW]:
