So Darn Rude!!

Was taking train to Plaza Sg for lunch today and as usual, many people alighted at the station. I was moving towards the escalator when I felt someone 'elbowed' me at my hip. I looked down and saw a little boy of around 5yr old in his PAP uniform. He raised him hand up to his chest level and use his elbow to push away anyone who is in his way.

I was q pissed to be elbowed so I stare at him and said:'You should be saying Excuse Me ok.'

His face turned black immediately and obviously his mother heard me telling HER son off. ( I was standing behind the boy and his mother on the escalator)

Mother: What did you do?
Boy: *Silent* (Black face)
Mother: *Silent* (Turn around to glance at me and then turn to look to the front)
Boy: *Silent* (Turn around to STARE at me)
Me: *Silent* (STARE BACK lar!!)

Reached the end of the escalator ride, the boy still continued to stare at me even though we were walking in different direction!! My gosh!!

Whats wrong you might ask? I mean since the mother heard me telling her son off and since her son refuse to tell her what he did, then she can ask me right? I would be glad to tell her what happened so that she can correct her son on the spot.

I am a strong believer of correcting the kid (young kid esp, maybe teenager need to give face hiak hiak) on the spot and not leave it until 100 days later then talk about it. Kids have very short memory, even talking about it the next day is not as impactful as changing the behaviour on the spot.

Anyway, thats her son and none of my business. I just pray hard that YC turn out right =)
