i was lying on bed, pretending to sleep. cc was holding a book and asking me to read to her for the n+y+z-th time.
she was very angry and pull my ear. i immediately sat up and told her that hurt and asked me to sayang my ear (sayang is a malay word. it means caress here. she knows what is sayang).
she looked at me but did nothing. but from her eyes i know she is not happy. she just held the book but did not ask me to read for her.
i repeated my request for 5 times, she did nothing.
i walked away and started to surf net. she then walked around and found another book. she brought the book to me and asked me to read for her.
i told her my ear was painful because of her pulling action and asked me to sayang my ear. she looked at me and left without any words, but did not sayang me either.
after a while, she came back with the same book. i said the same thing, her eyes began to fill with tears but still she did not sayang me.
these were repeated until the 5th time, she finally raised her hand and sayang my poor ear. i immediately picked her up and kissed her. i did not forget to tell her how painful my ear was from the pulling and she should not do that again.
i am not sure how much she understand, but i guess it\'s time for us to have some disciplines in the house.
note: i did not raise my voice or show angry face.
