she throws rubbish...

See… it started like this,

I saw some "learn, paste & fun" felt pieces, NEXT TO MY DVD PLAYERS, 2 pieces, squeezed in that little corner… in the TV cabinet…

Hm… I was like…

So, I asked baby, why these pieces ended up there?

She couldn't answer,

I asked, where's the rest?

She couldn't answer too…

I asked her to sit down there, and think properly where the rest are,

It's a set, of the story of red riding hood, felt pieces, sticking on the felt board,

Some characters, some furnitures, some trees, etc.

So, I asked, where? Where? Where?

She couldn't tell me…

I asked her to sit down and think, she told me, she wanted to stand up and walk around and think, I said, fine, but think, and tell me where the rest are…

Yes, I've such anxiety, I hate misplacing items,

Just thinking of the fact that, there're small tiny pieces of things lying around in some unknown corners of this house, I feel anxious…

On top of that,

She also misplaced some pieces of the magnet I just got her the other day,

I asked, where? Where? Where?

After a while, she found the magnet,

So, I was a little bit relieved…

I started nagging her again and again,

Where are the rest of the felt pieces?

She COULDN'T TELL ME,

She said, "I don't know!",

Then, she said, "I know, they're gone!"

Then, she looked underneath the sofa, said, "it's there!",

I asked, where? You saw it?

She said yes, I asked, where, tell mama…

She said, it's too small that she can't tell,

So, I asked her again, "since it's so small, how can you tell me that, it's there!"

She kept quiet,

Then, she told me, she didn't like those felt pieces…

*ting*!

I asked, "did you throw those away?"

"did you put them in the rubbish bin?"

She shook her head!

Fine!

After a while, I asked again…

"did you put them in the rubbish bin!??"

She said, "no!"

Fine…

I trusted her…

However, anxiety struck,

So, I started tidying up her toys a little bit,

Shuffled the containers, and spots, a little bit…

Wishing that, I couldn't find those felt pieces,

The last time I saw, she put them at the bottom of the paper bag…

I kept looking into the paper bag, the paper bag was empty…

Fine!!!

So, I texted him, and asked if he knows anything about it,

Nope, no idea…

Arrgh!! I can't live with this…

Anyway, in the evening, I went on to do some rewiring in the house, as one of the extension was not functioning anymore,

And also, we've changed to fibreoptic connection in our household, the wires, the switches, are in different spots now,

I went on to rearrange a little bit…

Last try!

I went to the rubbish bin and look!

Damn!

There, I saw the whole pile of them!

He asked me why I bothered looking for them, just small items…

I told him to just let me go after those small tiny useless felt pieces,

It's just me, I just gotta find them,

And I told him,

I also wanted to see, how "creative" baby is…

Ya, at first, she told me, she hide them,

That's why I kept asking her to think think think, think of the hiding spot,

Then, suddenly, she blurted out that, she dislike those pieces…

And lastly, I found them in the rubbish bin,

Yes!

That's her masterpiece so far…

I didn't know when she threw them away,

Luckily the part-timer hasn't come and got rid or the trash…

I retrieved all of them, gave them a rinse,

It's a waste paper bin anyway, can't be too dirty…

Funnily, this time around, I was not angry…

Cos, somehow…

I thought, she did something, quite different…

My baby!!

(shake head!)
