After a very tiring evening with the kids, i am really looking forward to having my own R&R. But Linn will not let me get away with it and made me read Goldilocks and Three Bears thrice and The Goats and The Wolf twice in both English and Mandarin. She ignored me when I tried to tell her that I was tired. As I put her to bed, I tried to talk to her to test her understanding skills

I told her to reflect on the night at Ikea, her running around the store away from me and what if I cannot find her or cannot catch up with her. She will be lost and I will have to report to the police. She will be scared if she cannot find me and will panic. So, she should really hold on to my hand at the supermarkets and stores so that I will never loose her.

I asked her if she understood what I was saying. She kept very quiet and I can see tears in her eyes. Thinking that I must have frightened her, I asked her what’s wrong. She said that she will go to the toilet to look for me.

Ok, i conclude, there is no logic to this..and why would I hide in the toilet?
