I wonder any of your school going kids have short term memory especially when it involves academic matters?
I always like to engage Dillion in telling me more about his activities in his child care when I comes back home after work. As he always get picked up earlier hence I have had no chance to take peek on whats he been doing in school
The conversation as follows:
Me: Dillion, what did you learnt in school today?
D: I forgot!
Me: (trying to encourage him to recall).. Did Mdm Koh gave you any worksheets to do, like writing ABC, 123..
D: I really forgot!.. (pause for a while, trying to think hard)
Oh.. i think i play toys, and watch TV
Me: Why can’t you remember? You just finished school a while ago?
D: Because I’m short!
What an answer from him! As if to put a stop to my never ending questions !!
I asked around and even checked with his Teachers and Principal and infact is very common for kids around his age to have this short term memory or simply put.. they could not bother to recall, as they are more interested in play time.
Which explained why D always answer me he only played lego and watch TV in school.

Justina, I also have been asking the same questions every day for 3 years, ie "how was your day in school", "what did you do".
K used to give similar non committal comments like D1. But two months back, T started giving me simple replies like good, yes ... and big brother doesn't want to lose out. So now everyday I get a commentary from him of what was served in school he eat xxx in school, had xxx for fruit, bathed, took a nap. But he still can't really recall what the main teacher teaches. So funny right?
