He whizzed from one end of the gym to the other, making faces and roaring at other climbers in his path. I finally caught up with him:
Me: So what are you supposed to be?
Craig: I’m a little long-neck dinosaur
Me: I can see that. Guess what? I am a BIG dinosaur
Craig: (excitedly) Yes you are!
Me: (menacingly) You know what big dinosaurs do?
Craig: What??
Me: (growl) THEY EAT LITTLE DINOSAURS!
Craig: (quizzingly) No, they don’t
Me: (surprised) Er..why not?
Craig: Because big dinosaurs are supposed to take care of little dinosaurs.
It's official.
I am a monster.
Lesson learnt: If you want to take a break from life’s humdrum, stop and speak to a little friend today. Children are great conversationalist and one of the best teachers on what life should be about.
By the way, Craig does not want to be a climber like his dad. He says he just wants to eat. Smart kid.

Hear, hear! Kids ARE fun! You want to babysit mine? I'm currently Looking for a Sitter. And we already know G adores you!
OH YA! I am your son's Sweet Sue. Didn't he sing a song about me washing clothes? (which btw is so far from reality cos I don't do laundry...)
OK, I'm good for hire so long as it is nowhere near a rock. Babysitting in a climb gym makes climbing a cardio-intensive sport! Maybe a trip to the zoo.....didn't a proboscis monkey gave birth lately?
This is the most boring blog entry I have ever read!
Hey Damselfly, I wouldn't trust your kid with this blogger!
Aiyo you poor thing - so lacking in perspective. I am obviously not your cuppa tea. You want "exciting" blog, go and read about xiaxue's nose job la. That should be right up your alley.
kids offer such marvellous perspective of life... don't they?
