Kids expects adults' impossible

Jackie started playing games on the computer since she was 3. Now 5, she seems to have brow-raising expectations of what technology can do! This is what she did - while enjoying a colouring game on the ipad, she touched the screen to pick a colour and then looked at her finger to check if there are any colour transfer before proceeding to use the coloured chosen to fill a particular part of her picture on the screen.

I will become a good girl!

Jackie: Jie (sister), you know, I am not baptised yet.
Jerrie: I know.
Jackie: When I get baptised, Jesus will take away all my sins, and I will become a very good girl!
Mum: Jackie, why did you say that, who say you are a bad girl now?
Jackie: Jie and Mummy always scold me, so I think I am bad.

An Eye for an Eye

Mum in a reprimanding tone: Jerrie, don't bully Jackie. She may not be reacting now, but when she grows older, she is going to do the same to you! Then you will be sorry!

Jackie listens on...

Weeks later, after many of the same episode and chiding.

Mum and Jackie waiting for the lift on their way to the childcare. Mum noticed the lift has opened only when it was about to close. She tried to keep the lift open by pressing the lift button, but the door continued to close and finally left. Noticing a couple was inside the lift, Mum commented, "So terrible, didn't even botther to press the lift button from inside."

Jackie on hearing that, said in jest, "Nevermind, mummy, next time, we will do the same to others!"
