Lion for real

27 07 2008

We were on a crowded bus with EZ sitted side-by-side and playing happily while I was standing in front of them.  While I was just looking out, suddenly a loud cry was heard, and that came from my son.

“Mummy, Z bit me!!!” and he went sobbing sobbing sobbing.

Z’s story, and very naively: “Because I was pretending to be a lion and lion bite!”

This is a situation where I want to laugh but have to be ultra-sensitive with the ‘victim’s’ feelings.  On a serious note, it was quite a bad bite.  She bit on E’s back, through the T-shirt, and left a tiny slightly bloody mark.

Anyway, went on to console E, and to ‘reprimand’ Z.  Took a while to explain to her though.  Only manage to get through point to her when I asked her if it is ok that mummy pretend to be a T-rex and eat her up.

Although poor E, but I still smile as I recall what happened.  It is kind of funny :P
