He says it was some kind of wooden log or stub? IDK. Can't have been anything too dangerous in any case. They're better than that at his pre-school. XD
Just got him to explain a bit further, apparently they'd thrown it down on the ground so it made a loud sound. XD But then Augusta had said they should play chicken (mission accomplished, I guess?), which apparently is a game where one is a fox and one is a chicken, and the fox has to catch the chicken. Kupo says he wanted to be the chicken. When I asked what happened when the fox caught the chicken, he just looked at me and said, "Then the fox eats the chicken!"
... IDK, getting a three-year-old to explain his games can be quite difficult. XD
Oh definitely. He now elaborated to say that he and Tristan put the log down normally and then he alone pushed the log down into the sandbox (apparently the girls had moved outside or something) so it made a loud noise and scared her. XD
I thought the chicken thing sounded a lot like tag as well, but when I asked if the chicken then became the fox, I got an indignant "No!" so idk. Maybe the rules are a little bit different.
I don't know, really. XD As he added to the story it didn't actually seem the events were that connected. Like, yeah, she didn't want to play with him and he did end up scaring her, but it all seemed incidental. That's not how he told it at first, though. XD This is also why I can't punish him for saying stuff like that, because he's an unreliable narrator at best. ;) I'd need confirmation from the pre-school staff, and they hadn't said anything today.
Hahaha, that AND NO SWEETS EITHER cracked both me and Maz up as well. It was just so... random. XD
He does tend to conflate things that aren't connected at all, though, and/or leave things out because they don't occur to him. I mean, he's only three and has been talking for... well, he only really got started after he turned three (and still struggles at times). So that means that often he'll jumble stuff together as he recalls them. That's also why he first said he hadn't played with Augusta today, even though he later said they played at the end of the day. Because his initial recollection was of her being gone/playing with some other children and not letting him join, and he didn't consider that her playing with him later was also "today" and part of the question. He's by far getting better at it, though, (the staff at his pre-school says he's rather impressive for a late talker and I'll take that as truth ;)) and indeed does at time have the ability to lie. ;) He will say his legs hurt if he wants to be carried, or that the kids chase him around and hit him (I've been bullied and we've looked into it - it's all lies. Kupo is
( ... )
i think i feel sorry for you when he is about to turn 14, cause he sounds like he already wants to be center of the girls attention, fasten your seatbelts
Haha. He plays with both girls and boys, but yeah. :) We live one door over from another girl from his pre-school that he plays with a lot, and we have friends that live within a short walking distance whose daughter is also from Kupo's pre-school and one of his playmates. The boys all seem to be farther away. He's having a boy over tomorrow (his own idea, he wants to play LEGO Star Wars with him haha) that lives quite a bit from here and we don't have a car, so basically Maz will pick him up from pre-school together with Kupo and Snuffles (Snuffles attends a nursery attached to the pre-school) and then the parents will pick the boy up a couple of hours later from our home. It's a bit more complicated than just... walking over next door. XD
In any case... it's cool if Kupo turns into someone who wants to be the centre of girls' attention. But if he still tries to achieve it by scaring/bullying them when he's 14, he is SO grounded. That simply won't be acceptable. ;)
