I did it again... I was caught filling water into the tube of toothpaste. The last time I did this (a couple of months ago), the remaining half of the toothpaste was ruined... it became watery, diluted and unusable. I was given a
stern warning on never to do this again.

| Independent in the bathroom... I can manage all the "bathroom businesses" on my own (from small to big, including bath). However, whenever I'm unusually quiet for a while, I'm definitely up to something no good... |
Last Saturday morning, mummy caught me repeating the same offence on another tube of toothpaste. Unable to contain the rage in her, she spanked and scolded me. When asked to explain my misdeed, I complained that the toothpaste was too
hard and by adding water, I was merely trying to soften the paste to ease application! *mummy rolled eyes* Me and my grand idea.
As usual, after the anger in her had subsided, mummy scooped me into her arms, hugged me and
sayang-ed
me back. I was very close to tears when I muttered something softly to her "
Next time when I have a baby and when my baby is naughty, I will not scold". Wallowing in self-pity, I then burst into tears! :'-(
Hey girl, you must know after all this,your mommy loves you oh so dearly but then again, she just wants you to do good in attitude and with good characters too,,,okay ya?
ReplyDeleteAwww....poor Chloe. But I really wanted to laugh for what she did. Kids are creative ya. And she has a point too.....
ReplyDeleteOh my! I want to know who your response to Chloe's remark. My girl, April at one time, said almost the same thing " If I am a mummy, I won't use the rattan to cane my child. " My response was "Let see how then."
ReplyDeleteI also can't remember how I responded to her remark. I think I just said "aww my poor baby" something like that...
Delete:'( I almost choke reading Chloe's remark. What happen after that?
ReplyDeleteThe more I consoled her, the harder she cried haha. This fler, always likes to self-pity and get all emotional over small things.
DeleteKids really know how to get to our hearts eh? *hugs*
ReplyDeletePoor Chloe. Listen to Mummy next time. Gwen said similar things to me before. :( Nowadays she would run away if I spank her...hmmph.
ReplyDeleteChloe was doing what she thinks is right... Mummy must say sorry to Chloe for spanking and scolding Chloe. And Chloe must also say sorry for making mummy angry and ruining the toothpaste....
ReplyDeleteMy ziyi will silently hate me and keep her distance from me whenever I scold and get angry or evenmore with spanking. I usually apologize and followed by weeks or months of quality time and controlling my anger... Haha...
Ya, mummy said sorry already and sayang her back, that's why she felt emotional. Actually this happens quite often, except that in the past she just kept quiet. This time she made a remark :p
DeleteThis situation happened to my son. He filled water in to get the paste out (same like Chloe's intention), and fortunately the tube was already finished hence he escaped the scolding and spanking part. Since then I keep my toothpaste high up.
ReplyDeleteAfter the first warning, Chloe still committed the offence - mummy, did you miss out the explanation on the first happening? Maybe she didn't know the reason you prohibit her filling water in the tube?
Oh, so Chloe isn't the only one who has this "grand idea" hehe. Actually I already explained to her why it's wrong to do that. She also knows the reason well... the toothpaste couldn't be used anymore and wasted.
DeletePoor Chloe...next time be a good girl ya.
ReplyDeleteNormally after spanking and sayang back, mommy don't apologize, else the child will confuse that you are regretful and wrong, not her. Hehehe, anyway, good to record all these down... She is still angelic, not
ReplyDeleteIrresistible, I can understand that cause when I'm small I use to do notty things too, I know I shouldn't do that but can't stop it. After did a mistake only I start scold myself, why I want to touch it, I shouldn't do it, now I created a mess and feel so guilty.
ReplyDeleteThe worst incident I caught small E did was using her toothbrush to brush the sink and the hole...@@ll. I scolded her like mad...and I wasnt sure if she uses it to brush her teeth after that. But i immediately threw the brush away...LOL!!
ReplyDeleteaww...poor chloe. hope she remembers what she told mommy...hehehe
ReplyDeleteLOL... I shld learn from Chloe, I wish I won't need to scold my sprouts too!;D
ReplyDeleteShe really knows how to pull the guilt strings! ;)
ReplyDeleteAnyway, must show this post to her when she has her own kid next time!
Say it again, when Chloe really become a mum.. haha!~
ReplyDeleteWhen she grown up, she would thank you and understand that you scold her because you love her.
ReplyDeleteHaha, this act of mischief is every little kid's favorite coz they are just too curious. My rascal #2 did this many times, some more with a brand new tube of toothpaste and needless to say, the entire tube was wasted. I was fuming mad too! But Chloe had a very good reasoning. Yup water can indeed soften the hard toothpaste :)
ReplyDeletegee....so kelakar!!! you are really cute la...
