Writer’s Workshop: She said that?
Side profile of Tiger girl
Tiger girl has been talking a lot since she was two. What started off as single words morphed into short sentence and now into lengthy discussions. At 3 years old she is able to have a two sided conversation with you , voice out her own opinion together with a lengthy explanation.
Just the other day I was sharing on my Facebook status about the stern 3yr old housekeeper which I have. We seldom cook on the weekend and normally eat out or pack lunch or dinner back. As my hand phone was still in the charger I didn’t bother to unplug it and bring along.
When I came back I received a shelling from Tiger girl.
This is what she said.
“Mummy why didn’t you tell me that you were going out to buy dinner?
Do you know that you need to let me know if you are going out?
Why didn’t you inform me and bring me along?
Why didn’t you bring your phone along?
Do you know that I called you but there was no answer because you didn’t bring your phone along ?
Next time bring your phone when you go out so I can call you.. understand???
It really sounded like an what I would have said to a teenager rather then something from a 3 year old.
What have your kids said that made your cringe?

Remember to bring that phone next time! What a bright little girl! Being in contact is important. Something you will be able to remind her of when the teen years come And, they come all too quickly (yet, they seem to last forever sometimes!)
Great S post..

Isn’t it amazing how the constancy and ever-presence of our cellphones is a given to our children? Certainly a generational difference. Cut story, Dominique.

You’ve been told! She actually sounds a lot like both my daughters – my eldest (7 years old) has always been very quick to point out the road rules (that I’m actually heeding) as though I’m being reckless, and my youngest (3 years old) just plain talks non stop. There are some days when I wouldn’t mind a mute button…

I can’t think of anything my kids have said that is as startling as this… Tiger girl is definitely super smart and it sounds like she is going to be keeping tabs on you… (((winkwink)))
