I was very upset with Kieran again last night. He was slower than his usual already slow pace in getting ready for school and was not obedient, e.g.
Me- Kieran!!!!!!!!!!! bla bla bla….
no reply…
Me-Kieran!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
K-yes? (but still remain at what he’s doing….)
Me-Kieran!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! COME HERE!!!!!!!!!! SHOWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
K-yes???
Me-Yes what? COME HERE LA!!!!!!!!!!
K-But I can’t hear you…
Me-*fuming mad now* You can’t hear you have to come upstairs la!
K-but I’m watching this cartoon….bla bla bla..whine whine….
Me-You better come up now or I’m leaving you alone in the house! 1…2……….
K-*dung dung dung…heavy feet coming up the stairs*
Later…
K-Today is Wednesday?
Me-ah ha..
K-I hate Wednesdays…got to get ready go back to office, practise piano…then go piano lesson…I will be late for school!
Me-bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz..(my usual exclamation when I’m out of words)
I’m really wondering if I should stop his very expensive piano lessons…but when I asked him if I should sell the piano off and he said NO! Otoke?? (How)
Then when I picked him up from school later in the evening, as usual he was running around as his face was all flushed. Then his good friend came to me..
F-Kieran didn’t do his homework and didn’t pass up also!
Me-*Turned to him with screwed up face* Why you didn’t do your homework?
K-I pass up! I don’t know… bla bla bla..
F- He didn’t do! He doesn’t know how to do.. (this is the friend Kieran copies from most of the time…)
Sigh……….
Kieran continued to complain about not knowing what to do..bla bla bla and I told him to just ask the tuition teacher and he smartly answered,
K-No..ask Aunty Fiona la! (my future sis in law who’s very patient with him, helps to feed him, shower him and helps guide him with his homework!..eh what happened to mummy? too lazeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee)
As Aunty Fiona was guiding him, he was distracted with the tv and kept turning to the tv and I got so fed up with him and also my mom in the background grumbling..
Mom-aiya look at him…mo sum kei duk shue one la.. (no heart to study)
Kept reminding him to concentrate and he kept turning his head, and poor Aunty Fiona also loosing patience with him. Then he was sulking as he had only one char kuey while my niece had 2..ayooooo…He pushed my niece down and didn’t want to share his soya bean with her. So my mom got upset with him also cos my niece was gracious to share with him and he was not appreciative. As usual my mom said very negative words like he was a ruffian la, very bad la..bla bla bla and he kept saying not fair la..bla bla bla…
K-I hate you! (said this to mom and went inside the room to sulk)
I waited for a few moments before reacting. Took the cane and went in and whacked him like there was no tomorrow, told him to stop whining and go out and finish his homework. Aunty Fiona continued teaching until she couldn’t tahan also so she went to shower. Kieran just stared at his book and kept saying I don’t know how to do…
Me-Just close your book and put it back and ask your tuition teacher tomorrow..
K-wuahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh sob sob sob…I..i…i..dun…know hhhhow to to to doo oh oh oh…..
I was just dumbfounded at him and really don’t know what to say leow! Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…..
