written on the bus, a welcome, disrespectful kids, alliteration and exams.

It almost always begins like this:

Alright, back to the post..

Did you read the above (image)? Did ya, did ya?!

Once again, I started writing and didn't finish what I wanted to say. I think I got distracted somewhere on the way home. I'm pretty sure I did. The mother (with the pram +son) seemed like she had no control over her son. Her daughter was young enough to be controlled by simply shoving a pacifier (dummy?) into her mouth (I'm not a mother and I don't know how her day was so I shouldn't judge but that seemed like a really lame way to look tend to her kid..). The lady's son however, not so easy to control. He kept running up and down the aisle jumping around etc. The mother kept yelling at him and grabbed him really hard once. She jerked him towards her and then (my theory is), realising the bus was full, quickly let him go. Then she kept saying "Jayden, please come and sit down" and "No Jayden, mummy doesn't want to play!". He just ignored her, poked his tongue out at her etc.

If this Jayden kiddo was my child, there's NO way he would've been so disrespectful to me. I'm not sure what it is these days (child protection etc.) but a parent has to teach their children respect. Seriously, the youth of today are so disrespectful towards older people and even themselves. It makes me sick. Personally, I blame the fear that parents have -i.e. the fear that someone will "report them" to D.O.C.S. (child protection people?) or someone of the likes and their kids will be taken away. Ahh, sorry this is making no sense. All I know is that I don't think I've seen any Asian kids misbehaving like "Jayden" was. Gosh that sounds racist. Sorry, I haven't got anything against non-Asians (seriously!)!

I'm rambling -not really thinking what I'm saying through, just typing as I think so this post is going to come out really incoherently... Apologies (yet again =P)! Man, my apologies are going to hold no weight and seem pretty pointless soon if I apologise for everything! With that in mind, I'm going to reduce the number of apologies in these posts... sorry! (Haha, I'm kidding XD)

Alright, I loved reading your responses to my last question "what are you looking forward to?"! I guess blog questions are probably the best way for me to find out more about you guys -not in a seedy, stalkery, strange (alliteration! boy do I feel awesome right now XD!) way. I just want to find out more about my readers because that way, it feels like my blog has a purpose (: It's great to find out more about the people who regularly read my rambling (oh, oh more alliteration!).

Hmm. I should go and do some study for the super hard exam I've got next Wednesday (since I've practically wasted all day). Ew, exams are really lame, lame, lame! Yesterday's exam went alright though (:

Stay well till we next meet (in the form of cyber bloggy blogging!)!

PS. You totally thought I forgot to ask a question didn't you? Well, I haven't! The question for this blog post was inspired by Jackie's response to my last question. What season is your favourite and why? Creative (but realish) answers please! I'll give you my answer next post (:

Thanks for the welcome, you're very kind. I like Summer because I can go to the beach!

Jackie said...

I don't really think I could pick a favorite, but if I had to, I think it would have to be a tie between winter and summer. My friends and I have AWESOME snowball fights during the winter. I love seeing the snow when its all white and covers EVERYTHING. And the trees look so pretty with snow on them. It looks like icing. =)
But Summer is perfect for when I'm sick of the cold and the yucky gray slush. After a long winter you get into a bit of a slump, and then Summer comes along and picks you up again! Plus I love not having to bundle up..

Kay..Now a question for YOU!
-What is a Pram?

And I completely agree with the trashy kids these days. A lot of the kids in my school right now have no ambition or respect for anyone.

OK, let me start by answering your question. Summer is my favorite season by far. I just love warm weather, and I love the fact the there is still some daylight by the time I get home from work.
As a parent, I'm definitely going to have to respond to your comments about the mom on the bus. However, I won't respond here. I'm going to dedicate an entire blog post to my response because there is A LOT that I want to say. I can't promise that I'll post my response any time soon ( I may not have time to do an uber-long blog post for while ), but a response is definitely in the pipeline.
Oh, regarding your question about my last blog post, Sesame Place is an amusement park which is about a hour from my house. We've gotten a season-pass there for each of the last three years, and we've gone there at least 10 times combined the past 2 summers ( Once already this year ). If you google it, you'll see what a fun place it is for kids.

OK, I've finally posted an appropriate response to this post. You can see my response by checking out the "Parenthood" post in my blog.

I think that kids should have a certain amount of discipline but you have to consider how old the child is when thinking about how calm they should be. Really young children are just naturally quite manic and don't sit for long periods of time. They don't have enough experience to realize when it's a time to settle down or not. Even if a kid does seem bratty, you have to also look at the way that the person taking care of them is. You can't always tell that from a brief moment on the bus, where everything is a bit of a free for all anyways.

Well, it's freakin super hot in Vancouver right now. I'm sure we've been breaking summer time heat and humidity records. I'm gonna be busy with various family members and events over the next few days. Good luck with the exam.

favorite season. I like all the seasons for different reasons. I'll just say that I don't particularly care for the month of October or November because in Vancouver one of those months is always solid rain all day and night.
