A short piece of conversation between 4-year-old kid and his mom:
School admin staff welcomed the mom, "Your kid is having a fever".
Mom hugged his son (note: he's a restless boy, I was nervous to run my experiment on him this Thursday).
"What happened to you? Yesterday played too much ah? You didn't drink enough water, that's why now you have fever."
Mom poured medicine syrup to him and asked him to drink the medicine.
Suddenly the boy said, "I love you, Mummy."
Mom: "I love you too. You should learn to take care of yourself, okay?"
.... (I forgot the conversation)
Boy: "I am not stronger enough."
Uhh.. my eyes were suddenly filled with tears. I can't believe that a 4-year-old boy with his limited grammar can regret that falling sick causes a problem to her mom.
I was also surprised that this boy whom people can categorize as 'naughty' randomly told his mom that he loves her.
I'm glad that I work a lot with small kids, so many things to learn from their simplicity :)
