Rio bedtime story??
Last night, I was accompanying Rix and Rio in their room for bedtime.
Out of sudden, Rio began to talk to Rix about life and death.
I was listening quietly as he told his younger brother:
"Didi, do you know, when Ahma grow old, she will die?
Then when we grow as old as papa & mummy, they will be as old as Ahma & Yeye.
Then when we have our own children, papa & mummy will grow old and die.
Then when our children are as old as papa & mummy like now, we will grow as old Ahma & Yeye, then eventually also will die.."
I am surprised that Rio at only 7 years old, can explain the life cycle, but what made me speechless was his next sentence...
"Didi, you will grow old and die, are you afraid?"
Oh men!! It is bed time, must you scared your brother now..?
And Rix replied:"I am scared!! I don't want to die!!"
