Mummy's post:
I chanced upon a new way to make the kiddos fall asleep faster and that is to start some senseless and endless conversations with them at bedtime. Of cos I'll need to make sure I don't doze off before they do with the silly conversations.
Examples of those we had tonight:
I had wanted to know if their teachers had scolded Reyden for biting Reyes on her arm therefore the question:
Mummy: 老师有没有骂 Gorgor?
Reyes: 有。他哭.
Mummy: 为什么Gorgor哭?
Reyes: 他坏蛋.
Mummy: 为什么他坏蛋?
Reyes: 他丢玩具.
Mummy: 为什么他丢玩具?
Reyes: 他坏蛋.
Mummy: Errr ... 为什么他坏蛋?
Reyes: 他丢玩具.
Mummy: Oh, then 为什么他丢玩具?
Reyes: 他坏蛋 ...
The conversation went on for another 5 mins and she just dozed off mumbling the same 2 lines over and over again ... That's pretty fast for a record!
Next target ... Reyden.
Kent noticed that Teacher Rose wasn't around this morning when we dropped the kids hence the question:
Daddy: Teacher Rose come to school today?
Reyden: Yes. Teacher Rose fall down.
Mummy: Where did Teacher Rose fall down? Toilet? Classroom?
Reyden: Teacher Rose fall down on the floor.
Mummy: ??? Oh, ok. So did the ambulance come?
Reyden: No, ambulance no come. Bus come.
Mummy: Huh?? Bus come bring Teacher Rose go where?
Reyden: Bus come bring Teacher Rose sit bus.
Mummy: ????
Decided to end the conversation before I pull my hair out
2nd conversation with Reyden.
Still wondering if the teachers did scold him for the bite wound on Reyes' arm:
Mummy: 老师有没有骂你?
Reyden: 没有。老师骂 Marcus。
Mummy: 为什么老师骂 Marcus?
Reyden: Marcus 弄桌子,Marcus 打 Jamie。
Mummy: Oh ... 你 sure 老师没有骂你 ah?
Reyden: 没有。老师骂 Meimei。
Mummy: Huh? 为什么老师骂 Meimei?
Reyden: Meimei 弄桌子,Meimei 打 Jamie。
Mummy: ???
The conversation went on with another 2 more names before he fell asleep ...
These are my 2 silly yet adorable kids.
