又來哲學討論

哥哥一到考試前後,奇思異想就有如泉湧。之前又有幸聽他一席話。

朗:我諗我上一世係caveman (洞穴人)嚟!
媽: 哈哈!係呀?
朗: 其實,Stonehenge我有份起㗎!(按:就是那位於英國的神秘石陣古蹟。大家還記得80年代建造業訓練局那個「依座紅磡體育館,同東區走廊,我有份起㗎,威呢?」的廣告嗎?他那自信的神情就和廣告的主角一樣。)
媽: 嘩,你就好啦,有份起!
朗:我好想快啲到下一世呀!
媽:(呆了兩秒,大驚)點解呀????你依世啱啱先開始。。。 (準備長篇大論說講生命誠可貴的道理。。。)
朗: (笑)我諗我下一世會識到好多勁friend!(按:勁friend=好厲害的朋友,要不是骨格精奇就是天生異稟那類。)
媽: (不悅)咁你依家覺得我唔夠勁定係同你唔夠friend吖。。。
朗朗: (傻笑)
媽: (又傷心又擔心,支吾以對)其實呢。。。唔洗等下一世,你依世一定會遇到好多勁friend㗎。。。你大個就會識到。。。
朗: 我覺得Angry bird都好勁㗎!
媽:(鬆一口氣,幸好他仍像一個小朋友。)

做功課才去poo poo

弟弟人仔細細已經很會說話。
做功課做了五分鐘,想去廁所。
他說:「我好想去poo poo,但係我係唔會去嘅,因為我要做功課。」
媽媽立即說:「傻豬,有poo poo就即刻去啦!」
他一支箭衝去廁所。
弟弟不直接說他很想去廁所,因為媽媽可能會駡他做功課才去poo poo,玩ipad時又不見他想去。現在媽媽則會覺得他很乖。

這是我Psychology101學的negotiation tactic,弟弟6歲就會了。

偷蛋龍的偷蛋比喻

昨晚哥哥挺著眼睏陪我們做麵包。麵包焗好後,我們用布蓋著麵包。爸爸笑說以免四腳蛇來光顧。

「那是不是像恐龍用葉子蓋著牠們的蛋,以免偷蛋龍來偷?」哥哥說。

他真的很有趣。

試後抑鬱症

搞話劇的朋友,為套劇勞心勞力,情緒於謝幕前推至最高再延續至慶功,一覺睡醒卻覺得空虛無比,總有好幾天悶悶不樂,我們稱之為「Show後抑鬱症」。


哥哥昨天考完試,也出現類似情況。他感到很失落。我們笑說這是「試後抑鬱症」。治療方式就是跟他玩他近來最愛的「大富翁」- 這秒秒百幾萬上落的遊戲,並不遵從一分耕耘一分收穫的模式,勝負是取決於玩家的眼光,野心和運氣。連續玩了兩小時,哥哥終於舒筋活絡,縱使心情仍有點複雜,但很快便睡得安穩。

藉口

弟弟人仔細細就設計出一個無懈可擊的藉口,他一副嬉皮笑臉的樣子說:「媽咪呀,唔知點解,我個腦成日都想整到我曵曵㗎!」

小朋友,你真係認為曵係唔關你事?

DIY craft with kids

It's a trend of to do DIY craft honework with your children across schools in Hong Kong. You hear me right, DIY homework with your children, not with your parents,  now you see whose this homework is.
Anyway, it is still enjoying to do. This year, Linus and I made this DIY snow globe by a waste plastic container, a pine we picked up from the ground, and an old doll. 
We used glitters as snow. I used flour before, it then turned out not snowy, but foggy, I even suspect it was a smog!!!

About human history


"Whenever you look in history, the people at that time are influenced by loads of stuff that is new and from other countries.  We tend to think that countries, and the people who live there, stay the same.  But in fact countries are always changing: accepting new people and new ideas.  Soon, what was once 'different' becomes part of what is 'normal'.  It becomes part of what a nation is…… I reckon if we all looked back far enough we'd find our ancestors come from somewhere else other than where we are today.  We are all invaders and we are all settlers." quoted from Tyler, Stranger at the Gates.

This is actually a children book I read to Lucas tonight.  What a beautiful book!
