Yvaine is getting more cheeky and talkative since this school holiday. she will try to make up her own story without any main points. I think she is trying to mimic her brother whom she think is the ideal role model. She always starts her story with the same line "mummy, I want to tell you a story..." (copy & paste from her bro)
"ok ah, here is my story..... This afternoon, I took my nap. Then I wake up, so blur."
huh, why? what happened?
"ya, I'm blur. Not dreaming. just blur only"
>_< ok. So, this is your story?
Happily, she say "yes"
@she makes me recall Ian's riddle. *What does the triangle says to oval? "you are so pointless" *
This evening, they were playing Lego while I was in the kitchen preparing dinner. I overheard below funny conversations from kitchen.
I : Yvaine, bring me light green. This shape.
Y : Ok! (after some time, diligently digging from the container) I can't find light green.
I: then green la. Why you can't find light green?
Y : I think finish.
I : heiyo, let me see. If I can find. ..(he must have thinking very hard how to threaten her)
I : nah, this is not green ah! still telling me don't have.
Y : but this is not light green.
I : light green and dark green both consider green (sound impatient)
**** then both silent.......
out of sudden........
"hoooiiiii, why you take my blocks without permissions!"
I : POLICE!!!! someone steal my blocks.
(guess what was Yvaine's reaction. I can't stop laughing)
Y : huh, police ah. ok, beng, beng, beng....... done!
I : you cannot take this.
Y : but I want this
I : If you want to take something from me, you must ask for permission.
Y : ok. koko, can I take this?
I : CANNOT
Y : but you say ask first?
I : ya, then my answer is CANNOT.
** poor girl.
still they are playing happily and enjoy each other company.
tips to parents : try not to interfere when your kids are playing. This is how they learn ways to deal with their siblings as well as their friends in later years.
