I was lectured !

I received a pretty good lecture from my son Ryan 2 nights ago. Yupe. My 4 year old son gave me a piece of his mind.

We were having dinner at Citta Mall and he wanted to follow along. Ryan, being Ryan, he would definitely want to order something that he likes. This time, he ordered a bottle drink since he already had his dinner prior to this.

We were happily enjoying our dinner and he was happily playing with his iPad and drinking his juice that he ordered himself.

When we were about to finish, he realised that he still have half a bottle left and he requested that he be allowed to take the bottle home.

"No problem." I said.

"But..I need straw wor ..." he replied.

"Can. Then you asked uncle to give you a straw to take home lor ..." I continued...

"OK..." he replied and immediately wanted to get up from his baby chair to go to the counter to ask for his straw...

"Wait lar ....wait for uncle to come and ask ma..." I stopped him...

He looked at me with a very frustrated look and a frown on his face ...

"Why you don't let me go? Huh? You said go and ask uncle for the straw. I want to go but daddy said Cannot Cannot Cannot! Always said CANNOT! But you asked me go ma ...Now you said CANNOT!" he rambled, frowning and with his arms crossed .....

At this juncture, my wife cannot stop giggling, looking at how her son is grilling his daddy and obviously enjoying and savoring every moment of it. As for daddy, guilty as charged.

What choice do I have? I did not specifically said "Ask from uncle AFTERWARDS" did  I....?

So I helped him down from his baby chair and he happily ran to the counter and got what he wanted ... a straw so that he can take home with his drink...

And what did daddy get? A lecture from his son ......:)
