Welcome to e-Happy Family

Greeting to all readers.
Just created this special blog, in sharing some memorable happenings in my family (with 2 energetic angels)...

Children in this modern era seem to act totally different with the olden days, which exhibited great sense of obedience and courtesy. They are more towards treating elderlies like a friend of theirs. For example, while they fail to greet you at the first place, it does not mean that they have no respect on you which they have been taught of. There is no generation gap which we faced at similar age, for most of us I would say. Most of the time, after the warming up period of says 10 minutes, they will be mixing very well with those uncles and unties. We would easily notice that they can jump into the specific topic(s) while communicating with other adults, like why this little toy behaves in that way etc., which they expect you should have an immediate answer. Of course, there are many "assumptions" in supporting their questions.

Similarly, for those languages that they have been "historically" educated at home, there will be no surprise at all if you heard the entire phrase being spelled out from their little mouth. E.g. when you as their parent demanded them to pass certain items to you, you will be questioned by return: "Why you cannot walk to my side? You got leg, right???"
If such a sentence came out 20 years ago, there must be an "execution" of serious punishment but it seemed to be ineffective nowadays, with "photographic" memory in capturing all sentences that reached their ears...
