At noon, before lunch, i was chatting with Little Pistachio.
Did you play with gor gor?
Nodded quietly.
What did gor gor play with you?
Gor gor played messily (乱乱玩)
Did you play with jie jie?
Nodded quietly.
What did jie jie play with you?
Jie jie played messily. (乱乱玩)。Jie jie pushed me (推我)。 Jie jie snatched the toys i was playing (抢我玩具)
Looking sad, she sat on a child-sized rattan chair and played with her lego-made-fan she built earlier.
These were the words uttered by a 2years 2months 21days child.
Little Pistachio, was obviously being bullied by the 8years old gor gor and her 6years old jie jie.
In the evening, daddy was home.
As usual, the big gor gor jie jie was playing rough. Jie jie was hopping around like a frog. Gor gor was smashing down the jenga tiles over and over again.
Little Pistachio, stood there, stared at them, then looked at daddy.
Daddy shook his head.
Dear girl, you don’t play rough like them. That is not right.
Little Pistachio, still quietly looking, said gor gor jie jie luan luan wan.
Old Granpa, who was sitting there resting, stood up and started scolding the gor gor jie jie when the noise went up to an unbearable decibles.
Stop it! That is not how you play!
Dear girl, see how granpa is scolding them?
That is not the way to play. We don’t throw and smash things. We don’t jump and hop around aimlessly.
Little Pistachio walked away, still uttering luan luan wan.
Even a 2 year old knows what is right and what is wrong, who to mix with and who not to mix with.
Mommy will be less worried to let you attend kindy soon.
I am proud of you, dear girl.
MommyLove, Jen
