Children?

Children.
Fascinating creature.

I think CNY is the only time I can spend time with small small children, after I went to study in college.
I remember I used to babysit some of my little cousin. And most of them were quite close to me. Some still do till now.

I don't know whether it was the changes within me, or children nowadays is getting harder to handle. I just do not have the patient to deal with them anymore. I used to be very very patient, explaining every thing, do stuff with them. But now, whenever they question me, I just say

"Because I said so!"

Whenever I saw some child misbehave, overly pampered, being overly protective, I always question their parents. While it's true that different child exhibit different personality but each children can be taught in their own way.

But when I saw children acting in certain way, I will *shake head*
I always have the feeling, I can be a better father then most of the father I see these day. (I still hold this belief till now)

I grow up with many role model I look upon
My sister who is always good, my cousin brother who is a brother figure, my brother who is my rival who I always want to get better of. My broinlaw which I always want to emulate. Not to mention my strict parents and uncle.

I don't understand those parents I mentioned though. =X
