I now believe in magic :)

boy at fence

It was 5.30p.m. I tried to wake Benghui up to do his homework. I called him, shook him and tried everything. He was deep asleep. My wife told me to give it up. He was just too tired. He wasn’t even aware we we were trying to wake him up.

Suddenly there were sounds of the neighbor’s kids playing. Sounds of joy and laughter. In less than ten seconds inquisitive Benghui was at the fence trying to engage them in conversation. I now believe in magic. The children next door practice magic. With their voices they have the power to do what we cannot do.

I really must learn how to practice their kind of magic too. :)

    Haha. That’s an art kids acquire the day they start school. If they’re on holiday, they never sleep! They wake up earlier than normal and sleep late! One Solution : Get the car/bike keys and say loudly to Mrs BB that you guys are going somewhere that Benghui likes. He’ll wake up for sure!

    it worked lots of times when he was a child :) but nowadays i am no longer so sure hahahahaah

    Yes, the magic is not to wake them up with OUR voices. Sometimes the TV, the kid next door, some music is better. Hahaha. Oh btw, Happy Father’s Day to you!

    Hey, I didnt realize abt father’s day :) thanks!
