More on my conversations

Some conversations I had with mummy (and also my mei-mei)......

a) Scene 1 ....when I was drinking milk during bedtime

Rye Li: Nah mummy, I (have) finished my milk. *passed half finished bottle to mummy*

Mummy: No, there's still milk in the bottle

Rye Li: That's not milk, it's all bones from the milk

Mummy: Very funny, finish your milk now!

Rye Li: *Giggling*

--------------------------------------

b) Scene 2 ...when I was really grumpy having to wake up so early on a Monday morning for school

Rye Li: Why papa can sleep and I have to wake up

Mummy: Papa can work from home so he doesn't need to wake up early like you. Your school starts early

Rye Li: Why mei-mei also can sleep, (and) I cannot sleep?

Mummy: She will wake up soon when we leave for Aunty Ng's

Rye Li: Mummy, when you (were) 4 years old that time, you also have to wake up early for school ah?

Mummy: Yes

Rye Li: You cry also?

Mummy: Yes, like you la so grumpy in the mornings and grandma has to scold me.

---------------------------------

c) Scene 3...when mummy was angry at me and I noticed she was smiling at mei-mei and not at me

Rye Li: Why you love mei-mei (and) you don't love me?

Mummy: Did I say that?

Rye Li: *Nodded her head*

Mummy: When? When did I say that?

Rye Li: Why you smile(d) at her (and) you don't (didn't) smile at me?

Mummy: How to smile at you when I'm angry at you? I'm angry at you because you were naughty, you didn't listen to mummy. Rye Li, I will always love you whether you're naughty or not. When mummy doesn't smile or talk to you does not mean mummy do not love you. Mummy will always love you. You understand?

Rye Li: *Nodded her head*

--------------------------------------

d) Scene 4...when mei-mei was showing her temper at me

Rye Li: You see, you didn't sleep properly, now you grumpy-grumpy

Haye Li: *whining and kicking*

Rye Li: Cher-cher ask you to sleep, you don't want to listen, now you grumpy-grumpy

Haye Li: *still whining and kicking*

Because my voice is so tired!

Continuing from my “Because it’s itchy” response…

I always have excuses, one after the other, when Mummy or Papa ask me a lot of questions or when they tell me to do something. I’m smart in thinking of all sorts of replies and the latest one :-

Mummy and Papa always tell me to greet people when we meet them and almost all of the time, I will just keep quiet and stare and them. I don’t get away with this though as I am always told off after that.

Several days ago, when mummy asked me why I didn’t greet her friends at their house, I went “Because my voice is so tired!”

:D

Because it's itchy!

During one of the nights last week when I was in my usual black mood, I scratched mummy on her face. She immediately yelled at me and went "WHY DID YOU SCRATCH ME????"

I immediately responded "Because it's itchy!"

Mummy wasn't too pleased with my answer and nagged me. She also scratched me back after that to prove her point whether it was itchy or not. Guess I need to be more careful next time when I feel like scratching her.

Mummy’s entry – My little chilli padi!

Few days back, I was told by Aunty Ng that the girl slapped one of her daycare mates that day. What happened was that there’s this girl who’s about a year older than Rye Li started screaming and Rye Li was just standing next to her. I think it must have startled Rye Li and she immediately slapped the girl in the face and said “why you scream so loud?”.

Aunty Ng upon seeing this reprimanded Rye Li and asked her to apologize to the girl but she refused. After several attempts of warning to Rye Li and by counting to 3 (sounds so familiar as I go through this with her all the time!), the girl still refused.

So Aunty Ng took her out of the house and left her there and asked her one more time to apologize or she will have to stay out and the girl still refused. Only when Aunty Ng was about to close the door on her, she apologized. And she went back in to apologize to the girl.

This girl is really stubborn and I’ve no idea where she learnt to slap like that as I’ve never slapped her face before. I have used my hands to smack her bum or thighs but never her face. I asked her why did she slap that girl later and she replied “Because I naughty” and smiled at me. I had to lecture her several times after that on this but I’m not sure if she has learnt her lesson.

She sure has a character and at times she doesn’t know how to be shy at all. This girl also has the habit of going to our front door (grilled door) when she hears our neighbour (a couple) going or coming home. She has been doing this for as long as I can remember and eventually, she started calling them aunty and uncle. She has spoken to them more than hubby and I ever had staying here for 4 and a half years!

Lately, she got bolder. She will ask the lady “Aunty, where you go?” or when the lady is alone, she will ask “Aunty, where uncle?”. I usually will let her be all this while when she goes to the door to look but when she starts asking this kind of keh poh (Cantonese: busybody) questions, I will butt in and tell her not to be such a keh poh chi and ask her to come into the house.

Also, the time when we were at Kuantan, while at the swimming pool, this girl saw a kind-of plump man and said so loud to me “Mummy, I can see the uncle’s nen-nen!”. I didn’t know where to put my face at that time and only told her not to be so rude! I cannot imagine the kind of words that will come out from her mouth in future in public. Children! They’re still so innocent eh?!

The cheeky sides of me
