this morning, royee suddenly asked me to finish off all the tissue papers in the box, coz he wanted to bring the empty box to the school. i asked, how many? he answered 'teacher said 1 tissue box and 2 zero zero'

so i gave him the empty tissue box. then asked 'so what else? just now u said, 2 of what?'

royee: 1 box enough la, liang ge ling ling liao ma (already having 2 zero zero)

mummy: shen me liang ge ling ling? shen me lai de? (what's that?)

royee: noh.. this, 2 of zero zero (pointed at '200')
mummy: ohhhh~~ this is two hundreds
royee: ya la.. teacher needs 1 tissue box and 2 zero zero
mummy: .....

dont think small children dont follow instruction. they follow it quite well. most of the time, what teachers ask them to do, royee follows eg bring extra towel n cloths for swimming class, old newspapers or recycled boxes.. (except last week he forgot to check with his teacher on banting methodist church sunday school time table, came back only 'mummy, i forgot to ask teacher oooo')

children can follows instructions, only mummy is blur blur :p ya.. 1 tissue box n 2 zero.. hmmm
