What a good mom I am.

After last week's mischief and the vow that I would TRY my very bestest yet NOT to lay cane marks on his flesh again, we had some few days of "wind flat wave peace" (translated to fong ping long jing in kong toong wah".

Then, he did it again! Told him, warned him, about the danger of pointing a sharp pencil onto his sister's eyes when he was angered with her stubbornness, and he still have to do that again. So, off I went into a fury again, yelling my head off at him, asking him what he wants me to do with him exactly.. sigh.. really spoilt my image. I think my neighbours would be thinking what a mom I am, yelling all day away.

But I did not cane him (a pat on my back), and out of the sudden, a bulb light came on in my mind. As I said the danger of his action would be making someone blind, why not he tries to feel how it feels to be blind. So I blindfolded him! Told him to move and get things done blindfolded. Haha! Soon he pleads to take the blindfold away after knowing my point (I hope), and I hope too that would prevent him from doing it again. I think next time, I'm going to tie up his hands when he beats anyone.

Today, he kacau his little sister again while having dinner. I sat with him and asked him if he's being naughty because he wants my attention. And so, I made him stay beside me and have all my attention while I wash the dishes and do the house chores. I even made him clean the table and the kitchen floor for me. How nice! The floor sure felt nice to walk on after cleaning. Haha!! I think I'm having a little improvement here on the disciplinary area. Surely a better way to punish him instead of caning him! And in the end, one house chore completed without me! Nice!

So, do I deserve an ice-cream now?
