Later on, he wanted us to buy some origami books for him, and man i tell you those art and craft books ain't no cheap, we bought two all together but he wanted somemore, because most of the time he would be able to complete almost all the pictures in those books, that got me a bit uneasy, pricey books, origami....hmmmmmmmmmm
This is my lovely Marvell Ung Wew, the origami artist, he'd learnt something else along the wayAll of a sudden a surprise revelation came to me, i thought i could ask my son to do a google search on the subjects on origami. So one day i called him to me and i said this to him " you know Marvell, one thing good about google is that it is a treasure trove of information, you can litterally search anything from it, for example even your origami" innocently he asked me how, i told him you must always start your search with the keyword "how to" i asked him could he understand it, he nodded, and that's when my whole problem started.
One day, Marell came to me and my wife with one thousands and one questions on "How To", he just asked us the following with the starting line, " Mommy and papa, can you please tell me "
1) How to get pregnant
2) How to kiss
3) How to make love
4) How to this and how to that...................
We were stunned by the questions he asked us, and we wanted to find out where did he get all these questions from.
You know children at his age (8) are very straight forward, and innocently he explained in this way to us." Papa, you remember, you thought me to google search about origami by using the keyword "how to", i did that and i scrolled down to look for origami, instead papa i saw a lot of interesting questions"
Then i asked him did he type the words " how to do origami" he said no, he just typed "how to" and he scrolled down the page looking for origami..................what a bombshell.
Finally i thought him the correct way to search for origami, and as a bonus he learnt about how to get pregnant and how to kiss at the same time..hahahahah
Q) what is your child's funny encounter with internet?
P/S : A child's innocence sometimes can be so pleasant
lol, marvell is so cute. seriously i only know how to get pregnant at the age of 15 when i was learning about "seks dan pembiakan" at school.
ReplyDeleteMy 4 year old kid thought of the computer as an haven for electronic games and free power rangers /ultraman/high 5 screening. Up to now, I keep my notebook to myself and try not expose him too much to the internet, until he's much older. He's already kinda crazy with all these stuffs and thought computers are somewhat marvellous toys!
ReplyDeleteLOL! What an encounter!
ReplyDeleteHahahahah next time be careful on what you ask your kid to do online lol..

Hi, how eerie was your story cos it is a mirror of my origami experience with my 8 year old daughter. I hear you, those origami books and papers are not cheap at all. My daughter became interested in origami after she saw a rose that a friend made for me. She wanted to learn the art and so, the adventure began. As a parent, you always want to encourage your kids to dabble with arts and at first, I was willing to buy the supplies but after awhile, it was insane how much was bought and cost and so I stopped buying. I showed her how to look up online "origami step by step instructions" and then we saved it onto the desktop so she can always go back to it when she needs to
ReplyDeleteHaha :D I have never asked my parents about all these because...I found it out myself.
ReplyDeleteAnyway yeah...Google will give you big headaches if you let the children to "roam free". :D
Just cared for you bro. Have a nice day. :)
ReplyDeleteHahaha. I always let my kids search online. Now they are learning to search images for anything they'd like to see. I better be careful and near at hand.
