Where phrasing matters.
The instruction to Ollie was:
‘You see the colour chart? You need to colour the numbers accordingly. So if you see the number 1, you colour it brown..etc etc.”
And well he did. Exactly what he was told. To colour the numbers accordingly. *sigh*
the colouring page in question
Ollie has inherited Daddy Ting’s cold humour and it’s payback time.
1) crackers & cracker
Donald: come on Ollie, give daddy the (packet of) crackers. You are supposed to only have 2 more.
Ollie: no! I want to eat many many crackers
Donald: give daddy the (packet of) crackers.
Ollie: *gives Donald one cracker*
Me: *cracks up*
2) post cracker fiasco
Donald: here, wipe your fingers *hands Ollie a wipe*
Ollie: *wipes and tosses it on the floor*
Donald: hey! how many times did I say not to throw things on the floor? When you are done, you give it to Daddy! *picks wipe up and hands it to Ollie* now do it again!
Ollie: *tosses wipe on the floor*
Me: *in hysterics*
Donald: you are right. Daddy needs to be more specific next time.
