It's toys keeping time again and Ethan is procrastinating again. The mess on the hallway is not much, but as we have a rather small hallway, it impedes movement - a lot. I have spent about an hour getting him to keep the toys and have now retired to the kitchen to prepare meals for Jethro - another headache point which I will blog (I think) in my monthly report... er update. So Jianming took over, and I heard the following interesting conversation.
Jianming has got him to start keeping the toys by 激将法 - he would say if Ethan would not keep, then he would do all the keeping. Somehow, Ethan feels threatened by that and would always fall for it. (I do not really like Jianming's method that much, because in his darker moods, it bothers on sarcasm. But as Ethan is innocently unaware, I refrain from commenting on it much.)
JM: Keep the piano.
E: But I only have two hands, Dad. I can't carry so many things.
Somehow, Jianming must have just noticed that Ethan is keeping away other things.
JM: Oh, ok, keep your hat first.
E (still on about it, very 啰嗦 one): Two hands can't, Dad. Two hands can't.
Yes, you are right, Ethan. And nobody would fault you for that.
