Kids follow what we say
Lately, Ian likes to curse “shit”. He has been saying that so many times. First time he cursed, I jumped and scolded him.
He was puzzled. He asked why I was angry with him. I then asked him why he said “dah bian’. He explained to me that he did not say “shit” as in “dah-bian”. He said, “This ‘shit’ is just ‘Oh My God’”
LOL! Then, I explained to him that it is not right to keep saying that, because it is called ‘cursing’. He answered back, “Why daddy always say that?”
See!!! I have been telling DH not to say this in front of the kids. He has been careful all this while, but somehow lately he doesn’t seem to be concerned or care about this!!
And another incidence…
One day, Ian talked to DH downstairs. When he was talking, DH was on the way going up. Then, somehow DH thought Ian was talking to Isabel and he ignored. For a while Ian talked, and then suddenly he paused, then raised his voice:
“Wei! Am I talking to the air ah? Are you listening to what I say?”
Hahahahahaha! DH quickly responded to him and apologized.
Ahem! Guess what? That is exactly the phrase that I always use, whenever I talk to Ian without getting any response. Hahahahaha!
Kids really know how to imitate us!! Must be really careful with what we do and what we say.
I agree. I also find my daughter is talking just like me. Words by words.
LOL this is so farnee!!!! They really mirrored us and make us think of what we do!! Manfred also sometimes imitates me when he “Scold” someone… Everyone beh tahan to see a tiny fella “scolding” with very fiery eyes some more..
haha. that’s really true. that’s why its important to instill values at the dinner table. where you can actually talk about important issues in life,

u r rite..One of my friend told me he use degil..and that kids use the same word to his brother…”Adik ni degil laa”…
I agree. Values really are inculcated from the dinner table. that’s why its important that we gather around the dinner table. That’s what mitivates our dinner group.
