Kids Say the Darndest Thing

As usual, my naughty Kiern said some stuffs that made us laugh our head off.

On new year eve, 31 December 2008, we went to Marina Country Club to have our dinner as it was Laoye birthday. On the way back home, my brother-in-law drove.

Kiern: "Mummy, why is 2nd uncle driving?"

I was curious why he said that as it was not our first time in a car that was drove by my brother-in-law.

Me:"Why did you ask? Yes 2nd uncle is driving."

Kiern:"Because he cannot drive, only ah gong can drive." 

It was my father-in-law car as he drank beer during the dinner so my brother-in-law took over the wheels.

Me: "Why he cannot drive? Ah gong drink beer so he cannot drive."

Kiern: "Because later he make spoilt the car."

All of us started laughing because my brother-in-later did damage the car for quite a number of time.

Brother-in-law started the car and slowly we made our way out of Marina Country Club. Then my Kiern started nagging at the back of my ear saying my brother-in-law cannot drive.

Kiern: "2nd uncle cannot drive because he will go the wrong way."

Me: "Can you just please keep quiet and sit still, 2nd uncle won't go the wrong way."

Then we came to a junction, where need to turn either right or left, my brother-in-law turned right.

Kiern: "He go the wrong way!"

Me: "Aiya, he going the right way, you don't worry, ah gong is sitting beside him, ah gong will tell him where to go."

After turning right at the junction, we found that the road looks different.

Father-in-law: "Ivan, I think you should have turn right just now at the junction, we are at the wrong direction"

Kiern: "SEE, I TOLD YOU SO!"

Gosh! I not sure whether Kiern really knows the way as it was his first time there, that why  he keep insisting my brother-in-law went the wrong direction but Kiern do have great sense of direction, you show him the way 1 time then he will some how remember. 

When I gave birth to Keon last year, he was there during the labour night 1 time and the next day, he knew how to go about the hospital and he ran straight to my ward when he arrived, never wait for my mother-in-law and my mother-in-law thought that he will go to the wrong ward or lost his way even the nurse thought he went to the wrong ward and wanted to tease him but she was surprised that he went to the right one! 

I still remember when my house was renovating last year July, I drove back and Kiern was with me. It was my first time driving to my then- new flat and I am a super- direction idiot aka lu chi. So I turned in 1 carpark earlier and Kiern keep saying "no no, mummy wrong way wrong way." and i keep insisting that i am right! Only to realised, i am indeed wrong so i drove out and Kiern was pointing to the next carpark, "there mummy! turn this way!" He was not even 3 years old at that point of time as it happened 1 month before his birthday.
