parents do tell lies
The other day I was on the MRT train, and this kid opposite me was running around. His mother caught hold of him, pointed to the ceiling and told him "if you naughty, camera catch you". I followed her finger and looked at the ceiling. Hey, that's no camera, just the air-con vents!Parents tell all sorts of lies. What police catch you, soldier catch you, flower eat you, lollipop is spicy, coke is poisonous, etc etc. Even once I was in the lift and a boy was playing with the button, the mother also pointed to me and told the kid "later kor kor scold you." Ooi, you want to lie to your son don't have to make me the bad guy right?
Have you ever been cheated by your parents?
I remember when I was young i was playing with my house telephone. My mother lied to me saying that if I continue to play, the police would catch me. Of course I was very 'ti ki' , and ignored what she said. After that the phone rang. Obviously it was me who picked up the phone. I asked :
"Who are you?"
The caller replied :
"I AM POLICE."
I was so frightened by it and thought police really came to get me.
After that I realised it was my uncle who called. Coincidentally, he used that phrase to scare me(it was without my mother's knowledge).
