1) How Ollie conned Daddy Ting
Ollie has been co-sleeping with us in our room lately. And Daddy Ting has taken to telling him he can only sleep in our room on special days.
So, when Daddy Ting was securing Ollie in the car seat yesterday:
Ollie: Daddy, is today a special day?
Daddy: *missing his son cos he slept over at my mom’s* Of course today is a special day!
Ollie: so I can sleep in mummy’s room tonight. *matter of factly*
Hahahahah. Good one, Ollie!
2) ‘you ask so-&-so lah!’
When Ollie asks me questions incessantly, it gets to the point where I will tell him to ask the subject in question, the question (eg., why don’t you ask The Wiggles?), applies to strangers we meet too.
On the way home from the supermarket, we pass the pet store.
Ollie: mummy, I want to see the guinea pigs!
Me:Ollie, come on, we gotta go. Remember I told you the guinea pigs sleep during the day? They are nocturnal animals. Nocturnal means they are awake only at night.
Ollie: why are they nocturnal? Why don’t they wake up in the morning?
Me: *about to reply, then I get interrupted*
Ollie: Maybe I ask the guinea pig.
Hahahahah. Good luck. I hope you understand guinea pig squeals, Ollie.
