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
