Interesting Conversation with a 3-year-old

Posted by tyan (Singapore, Singapore) on 18 July 2008 in People & Portraits.

Pardon my sporadic blogging nowadays.It may continue for a while.

I caught Caleb cuddling and stroking his polar bear one day, and sometimes smiling to it!Then as i packed him and Ian in for his afternoon nap, he brought Polar Bear with him and read it a story the way i read to him before he sleeps. Then he gently puts Polar Bear to sleep and asked for milk for his new pet! Caleb didnt feel sleepy that day and said,'Polar Bear is not sleepy.' What an ingenious way to speak for himself eh.

What surprised me was once,I was picking up all the strewn clothes on the kitchen floor; I was tired,so i heaved a heavy sigh as i picked the clothes. Caleb looked at me for a while and asked,

'Mummy,why are you angry with me?'

I was taken aback.

'No dear,i am not angry with you. Mummy is just tired.'

As if not convinced, he repeated,

'Mummy,why are you angry with me?'

'No,mummy is not angry with you dear.'

Then he came and looked at me in the eye and asked,

'Are you happy?'

Gosh.It is so strange to hear these words coming from a 3 year old boy!My son is a snag(Sensitive New Age Guy)!
