A threat?

God knows where E learnt this from.

We were at the pool and E kept drinking the pool water on purpose. I had to be very stern to stop him.

Me " Ethan, you have to stop drinking the pool water. It is dirty. Or else, we are going home now"

E got upset and he was silent for a moment before he "retaliated ".

E " Mummy, I give you 2 choices. One, you let me drink the pool water and I will sit close to you. Two, you dont let me drink the pool water and I will sit far far away from you. Which one?"

Me " No drinking of the pool water"

E" Then I will sit far far away from you, you know? "
Me " Yes, I know. Go ahead "

I could see that he got more upset with my response..... hahaha
