Child's Play

Kids can be such funny creatures especially when their innocence takes over. Was at the clinic this morning and there was a mom with 2 young boys, aged 3 and 1.

Well, both the mom and I were waiting for our meds, and noticed her boys just running around…totally hammified *aha! This PB knows exactly what hammified is like…I am LIVING PROOF* hahahaha! Anyway, the boys were just running up and down, up and down, up and down the clinic, trying to shake the fish in the aquarium, at one point the kids threw Styrofoam for the fish to eat *PB was just staring at them while all these antics was happening* and the mom was constantly screaming these at the kids:

*STOP TAPPING the aquarium!

*STOP jumping up the chairs!

*STOP throwing in the Styrofoam!

*STOP pushing your brother!

*STOP running around!

Whilst the mom was screaming her lungs out, I was thinking, just let them be because the more you tell them to STOP, they tend to understand it as “go ahead! Do what you want!”….Might as well let them run around, kill the fish! Cos kids do need to ‘fall’ in order to ‘learn’.

But, nothing quite beat this comment from the 3 year old boy as they were leaving, after the mom had whispered something to the nurse *NO NO, I could not hear what she was saying!*:

3 Year old boy: Mommy, what u say to auntie ah?

Mom: Told the nurse to spank you for being so naughty!

3 Year old boy: *folded his hands as he walked out*…NO! she cannot spank me!! Because I will SPANK her!

I couldn’t help but smile…and in my head *yes, my dear boy u have learnt fast…little do you know you could possibly be spanking some girls’ ‘TOOT’ in another 15 years!*….wonder if the mom read between the line on that one…hmmmm…
