Children's mind
My mum told me about how smart my niece can be. Not only she's smart, but clever enough to understand what's happening in adult's world.
Dad passed away almost a year back. As a 3 years old kid then, all she can see is people weeping and mourning over my dad's departure. I am not so sure of how Claire's feelings will be. I guess she must be figuring out what's happening. Things like,
why mummy, grandma and uncles crying so hard?...Why grandpa seems so peaceful and silent?...
Till Sunday evening that i guess she break her silence. She asked her grandma,
" Po po... Gong Gong DISAPPEAR already right??...GONE right????"
Her grandma replied, smile gently," Who tell you this?...."
And here, i swear to God, No one ever actually tell her that my dad passed away.
Claire just blurted , " I MANAGED to think...."...
There, in my mum's room, she stared at my dad's photo, saying, " Hello , Gong Gong..."
Kids nowadays are so smart, smart enough to use " DISAPPEAR" AND " MANAGED" ....
