The other day, I turned around while going on the treadmill and Chloe had just finished her dinner and trying to get to some stuff besides the computer table. She was quietly doing something behind me .. and when i turned around.. i saw her using a eraser from the back of her pencil rubbing it against the wall. The first thing that came into my mind was the kid must have been drawing on the wall – so I asked her .. “what are you doing?” .. i wasn’t shouting or anything.. but it made her jumped.
She quickly screeched and said “it was an accident .. mom..!!” in which i replied .. drawing on the wall isn’t an accident !” In which she replied – “i was trying to pick up something .. and my pencil slide on the wall and it marked the wall a little – i was just trying to clean it. I wasn’t drawing on the wall! i would never do that”
That actually set me thinking – actually – even when Chloe was very young, she never drew on the wall. She did put stickers on my coffee table though – but nope she didn’t jump on our couch nor our bed .. or even when Sarah invited her to jump on her bed .. when they had a playdate – she had said “no thank you” .. and when i asked her why she didn’t .. she had explained that it wasn’t very nice. So yes, we’ve raised a kid with conscience ? or a good head on the shoulder? I can’t complain eh.
