Mommy will have to tell as much as she can until she gets tired and then clips on a story (related to the subject or object) and hopes he will forget to ask “why?” after that.

Sometimes Max comes to my rescue by demanding for some attention from me, or to play with his koh-koh.

@ Ann, lil ones FORCES the creativity in us! I sometimes struggle to think of:
- What to do with her
- How to do them with her
- What to say to her to get her out of day-dreaming
- and of course, answers to her universal question.

Last week we were over at my brother’s for dinner as usual. At the dinner table my 16 yr-old niece was talking & said “shit”, & I told her off. It wasn’t anything hostile or anything. But Caitlin picked it up (little escapes her) but she did miss what her older cousin said.

She’s been asking me this whole week why I told off this jie jie. I had to give her the honest answer “Because jie jie said ‘shit’.. “. B giving her an honest answer I effectively reminded her of the word that I didn’t want her to know / remember…

I think I used to torture my dad that way too. Perhaps that is why he came up with all kind of tall tales to tell me! And we always knew that he was pulling our leg coz he had that twinkle in hie eye…

But we still asked anyway…after all, we only wanted to talk to our dad. The answers were in-material (to a certain extent)!

But it is good yah that your lil girl is inquisitive and wants to talk to daddy!

Lil ones really bring out ALL the creativity in us!
