Watched this advertisement on television. if im not wrong, its KUMON, promoting some learning center.
Girl: Mommy, why is the sea water salty?
MOM: hmm i dont know
GIRL: nvm, i will go check it myself.
arrhH! personally i feel that the mother is a total failure and giving a bad example for the kid. i mean from the perspective of a child, parents are suspposed to
KNOW EVERYTHING. as a parent, YOU SHOULD HAVE THE SPIRIT OF NEVER SAY 'I DONT KNOW'. excuse me, to your kid you are suspposed to know everything on earth. imagine asking your idol whom you think can sing very well,
'do you know how to sing?' yet the person replied
NO.
obviously you will be utterly disappointed. it works the same, and it might have even bigger impact on your kid!! so, DIE DIE ALSO MUST ANSWER SOMETHING.
if it were me, i will be going something this...
Girl : why is the sea water salty?Me: Aiyo. you know arh, beach hor got alot people swim one right?Girl *nods*Me: then some people hor go swim in water and feel like urinating leh. but lazy lah. so pee inside the water lor. urine is salty de lor. so everyday got people pee inside and over the years, the water become salty lor. SO, NEXT TIME DONT DRINK WHILE U SWIMMING IN THE SEA~~yes, that is the spirit. honestly that happened to be before, when i asked my dad questions he cant answer, he will either
1) Pretend that he did not hear it
2) tell me some craps
3) scold me and say that its a stupid question to ask
AND DONT GO 'EEE' about the urinating in the sea water part. thats what i heard before okay. IT HAPPENED IN SWIMMING POOL ALSO K!
