My 3 year old niece had developed an allergic rash on her legs and was prescribed an ointment to be applied twice a day by the local doctor. She found this exercise tedious as it meant a great restriction of her lying down patiently. One day after a tiring cat and mouse game, her exasperated mother in a stern voice said, ‘I want you to come and lie down and I am going to count till 5”. The tiny tot silently obeyed and patiently went through the whole process. Once it was over, she looked her mother straight in her eyes and as sternly as she was ordered said,”I want my milk bottle and I am going to count till 3”!!!!
My 6 year old nephew returned from school after a very enlightening class on ‘My Hen’. He rushed inside in search of his sister of 4 to share his knowledge. He took her by her hand and with all the facial expressions and emphasis of a 6 year old telling a story he said “Do you know, when you were born, you were suchhhh a biggg egg. Mamma sat on you for 21 days and then you hatched.”
My husband and I used to take our 5 year old nephew to school on our scooter. I would ride side saddle holding him on my lap. Every 5 - 10 minutes of travel this would be our conversation:
Me: “Legs are aching?”
Nephew (smiling): “Not aching”
Me: “Comfortable?”
Nephew (smiling):” Not compapable”
