Be Patient
I'm sure most parents get a taste of their own medicine. Things or words that the parents used on the kids eventually come back to haunt the parents.
I have a classic example. When Lucas insist on wanting something right away, I will tell him to be patient. 2 days ago, I got the taste of my own medicine.
Lucas: (watching the second episode of Mickey Mouse clubhouse at 9+ pm)
Me: Lucas, enough TV. Go to sleep now.
Lucas: I'm watching the second Mickey Mouse.
Me: It's late, please go to bed now.
Lucas: Mommy, be patient please. I want to watch the second Mickey Mouse.
Another incident:
Lucas: (15 mins after his bath, he is still playing in his bath tub)
Me: Lucas, enough. Get out of the bath tub.
Lucas: I'm making coffee for you and Daddy.
Me: I have enough coffee for today. Make it tomorrow. Go wear your pyjamas now.
Lucas: Be patient, I said I'm making coffee.
This boy really know how to use the word to his advantage.
