Last night, for I don’t know what reason my son decided that he wanted to wear his Korean costume ( the one from his concert last year) to bed. No, we didn’t eat anything Korean for a long time and no…I don’t think we watched anything Korean either. Infact we had Japanese for lunch instead. So I don’t know what brought this on, but it’s quite cute really. Greg and I went out for dinner with our *Keke* Japanese friend, Tomi (yes…we had Japanese) and when we came home we found Aiden clad in his costume jumping around on his bed and homework not done! Sigh!! My mom came over to babysit…so I don’t know what they did the whole night…his homework not done. So he had to finish his homework at 11pm! No good.
That afternoon when I picked him up from school, he was shooting at everyone in sight.Sigh! I don’t know what to do or how am I gonna stop this. This is something that you won’t read in a book or a magazine how how to handle awkward situation like that. So I tried talking to him again… I asked him why does he do that? His answer was “I will shoot and kill all this people!” *pengsan* The thing that surprises me is he actually said that because Daddy taught him violent things and Jiu-Jiu (my youngest brother) taught him about guns. Now… about my brother..I really don’t know, maybe, because my brother does love his toy guns, but Greg…I really don’t think so. He is the most anal about things like that! So I asked him why did he say that about Daddy? His reply was because he (Daddy) took him to watch Transformers. *slap own face!* Yes, we did… and it is one of the things that both Greg and I regret like hell!!
But I’m thinking here… what are we parents to do? How much can we shield our children from all these things? And for how long? Is it better to shield them or to let them know that these things are happening in the world we live in or could happen in future so we must do XYZ to prevent it? You know…educate them. Greg and I believe in raising our children based on truth, facts and reason. We don’t even use a cane, we don’t have one. But maybe Aiden is too young for that? What do you parents think? I want to hear some opinions. Coz I’m really lost.
So, about Transformers… Yes, it was our regret that Aiden watched it. I suggested it to Greg that he should have a boys movie together because I saw that it was a U rating on the movie. So I didn’t think that it wold be that bad (that’s Malaysian’s ratings for you!) Plus, when they bought the tickets the ticketing attendant sold them the ticket… But after the movie, when I was meeting up with the both of them, Greg was stood there rooted to the ground emotionless and Aiden was shooting everyone in Mid Valley. Greg was not impress at all but until today I’m still wondering why Daddy didn’t come out of the cinema after realizing that the movie is not suitable for young master Aiden? So anyway… Aiden had a crash course about violence in the period of one movie. Impressive! If only he learns other thing so fast!.
