Just some anecdotes we've been getting from Rayyan lately.
Since he's turned 3 years old, it seems like his vocab and speaking skills have increased tremendously.
And unfortunately..so does his excuses.
Case #1
Every night before going to bed, Shahrul would ask Rayyan to clean up and organize his toys which would at this point, be sprawling across our living room i.e. in front of the TV. We have a container box and Rayyan understands that he needs to put back all his toys inside the box at the end of the day.
So usually, usuallyyy when he's in an okay mood, he would oblige. Sometimes, we would need to bribe him with something if he refused. Sometimes, Shahrul would threaten to take away something he values if he refused to do it.
Then one night, suddenly,
Daddy : Rayyan, kemas toys please. Letak dalam box.
Rayyan : Taknak. Rayyan sakit perut...
Complete with clutching his tummy, pretending to be really hurt.
We know for a fact that he's not "sakit perut" at all, and that he was just pretending - but it's the first time that he's bold enough to LIE AT OUR FACES.
I didn't remember how we settled it or how we confronted him, but I think eventually after Daddy's nagging he reluctantly kemas his toys back into the box.
Next time, we ought to keep track of this lie - Rayyan who says he's "sakit perut" whenever he's being asked to do something 😂
Case #2
Similar case to above, but less bold.
Daddy : Rayyan, kemas toys now.
Rayyan : (after pausing, half-heartedly putting his legos into the container box) Tapi Rayyan penat...
-______-
Daddy says afterwards that he heard Rayyan but he ignored it, and Rayyan, realizing that his excuse didn't work, continued half-heartedly kemas his toys.
But later when he was at kampung and his Tokmi asked him to kemas his toys, he gave the same excuse too - you should've seen his Tokmi's face😂
Dah pandai bagi alasan dekat Tokmi sekarang ya!!!
Oh well. Guess someone's gonna need intervention on his (lame) excuses soon.
