something happened today. and made me reflect on the way we communicate with kids.
This afternoon, i received a call from mimi. she complained that tian refuse to go home. tian went tom and step (near her school) and do shopping. just refuse to go home.
nanny said she notti, wan to go shopping, dun want to go home.
i wasnot at home, so i told jay and jay din do anything la. mimi CARRIED tian back home, in tears.
papa scolded tian, (not v harsh type) and tian said yes she was being nottie.
when i came back, i also scolded her. and she said yes she notti.
just now before she sleep, after bedtime story, we chatted. (me and tian oni).
i told tian, if she wanna go shopping, i can go with her. i can even buy her things if useful.
but if go with mimi,mimi dun buy for her de. what for?
tian said: I want to see a game, got monkey de. something hit the monkey then monkey fall down.
me: cute meh? fun?
tian (smile and happi): yes yes, very fun
me: how u know? where u saw the game?
tian: TV lor. TV also got.
me: u sure Tom & step got?
tian: Yes I saw today.
actually tian din watch tv that often. she oni watched with her gugu last night, for 30 mins.
so i guess she spotted something familiar but just realised it can be played that way so she insisted staying there.
anyway, i still dunno what is that monkey game about but i promise her that i will bring her to check out how to play the game tomorrow.
anyone knows?
