I made oats for the kids’ breakfast and I added chunks of strawberries.
Eros: Ew, what’s this?
Me: That’s strawberry.
Eros: Why strawberry? Look like girl.
Me: It’s not a girly food. Just eat them. Look at Sophia. She likes them.
Eros: Sophia eats everything. Eros don’t want strawberry.
Me: Then what do you want to have with your oats? I only have bananas and strawberries.
Eros: Put durian. Eros like durian because Eros man like Daddy.
Eros has a taste for fashion.
Eros and Sophia were playing in the kitchen while I cook. Sophia wanted to take something so stretched out on the floor to reach for it. Suddenly I heard Sophia cried out. When I turned, I saw Eros sitting on Sophia’s back, pinning his sister from behind.
Me: Eros! What are you doing? Get off. You’ll hurt her back.
Eros: But Sophia wants to take something there.
Me: I know. But just hold her next time. Don’t sit like that. It’s dangerous for her and you.
Eros: But Eros do like in the TV. Like when doctor catch crocodile.
Well, at least I know he’s getting something out of NatGeo Wild.
Sophia getting in Eros’ face.
I was nursing Damien on the bed when I forgot to take his mittens I left in his cot. I called Eros to help me fetch them.
Me: Eros, can you help me for a second?
Eros: Yes, what is it, Mommy?
Me: Can you get those little gloves for Damien? They’re in his cot.
Eros: What’s gloves? I don’t understand.
Me: Those little socks for his hands.
Eros: Oh, ok. Where?
Me: There in his cot.
Eros: Where? I don’t see them.
Me: There. By Damien’s pillow.
Eros: Oh, here they are. Sorry I can’t see. Eros old already.
Me: Old?? You just turned 4 yesterday!
Eros: Yeah, I know. Eros said that so Mommy don’t feel so old.
