The "Do Not Talk To Stranger" Talk

Okay. So Jayden went missing last night in Jusco. Not to say he seriously went missing. He was unseen for about 5 mins maybe less. Don't wanna tell HOW he went missing but he wasn't with me and the maid was at home, So enuff said.

Before slept, I spoke to him...

Me: Jayden, next time you cannot go wander around alone okay? You must hold hand. If not then some uncle or aunty take you away, then no more mami and dadi edi. You will have new mami and dadi.No thomas. No titi. And then they cut your hands, cut your legs, cut your ears...

Jayden:No.. No!Don't want new mami and dadi! Don't cut hand! I hold hand, Mami hold hand. Mami fren you...(me)

Me: So you must remember to always stay with mami and dadi. Must hold hand. Cannot let go okay?

Jayden: Ok.

Me: If some uncle come and ask you "come come boy... let's go playground" What must you say?

Jayden: Ok.

Me: AH!? No. Cannot follow that uncle. Later he cut your hand and leg how?

Jayden: NO! don't cut hand!

Me: So don't follow that uncle ok? He is a stranger.

Jayden: No follow stringer...

Me: Is boh boh stranger?

Jayden: No

Me: is Boh leh stranger?

Jayden no.

Me: If the uncle no name wan leh?

Jayden: stringer!

Me: STRANGER....So if the uncle say "come boy come, let's go playground" What must you say?

Jayden: No don't want playground. I want go to swimming pool.

Me: *slap forehead* NO.... You cannot follow anyone to anywhere. Not to playground. Not to swimming pool. You cannot go with stranger and you don't talk to stranger remember? So what must you say?

Jayden: Don't want. No talk to stranger.

Me: Goood... So if there's this aunty come and bring you ice cream and say "come, i give you ice cream. What must you say?

Jayden: OK! Strawberry ice cream?

Me: *slap forehead* NO.......the aunty give you ice cream, if you take the ice cream, then she will bring you home and cut your hands and legs.

Jayden: NOOOOO Don't want cut hand

Me: then what must you say?

Jayden: *sad* don't want strawberry ice cream..

Me: Good!

Jayden: How about chocolate ice cream?

Me: NOOOO any ice cream also cannot take ok?

Jayden: ok..

Me: so if the aunty bring you triple scoop ice cream leh? Got strawberry, chocolate and vanilla ic cream, you follow her or not?

Jayden: Yes!

Me: WHAT!

Jayden: no.... don't want.

Me: Okay. If the aunty say give you ice cream,you just tell her NO. Mami will buy you BIG BIG BIGGG scoop of yummy ice cream ok?

Jayden: OKAY!

Me: Promise?

Jayden: Pwomise!
......

Jayden: (if) aunty Dorothy bring ice cream? (next door neighbour)

Me: ai...... if aunty Dorothy brings you ice cream and IF mami is around you can have it okay? You need to ask mami before you take anything from anyone. Do you understand?

Jayden: yes...understand.

  12. Haha..we also use the 'cut hand' thing to Brae when he ran far away to the corner of a shopping mall. Really difficult to get them to stay near you sometimes. Maybe should start to use the leach again hor.

    Btw, Merry Christmas to you!!!

  14. kakakaka...ur son's answers so funny. my 5yo got lost twice this year. even after telling her the cut cut story, she still not scared so the best is leave her at my mom's when i go out shopping without hubby. she can told the tesco security that her daddy's name is Uncle David and mommy's name is Auntie Michelle! I'm sure the find it weird! lol.

  15. Gosh..you must have had a bad scare when he gone missing though it's a short period.

    another thing must teach him is not to follow stranger eventhough they say mami or dadi ask them to fetch him unless they give correct password

    Merry Christmas to you and your family :)

  17. I used to share about missing children story with my girls. They are really afraid of stranger one. Not only stranger, even relatives and freinds, whom we seldom meet also they scared one. The cut hands and cut legs story is part of my bedtime stories actually, but i was a bit regret to cause my girls so frightening of people now.

  21. Merry Christmas to you! You give him too much things to absorb at one time so he cant take it . try telling him some more day by day am sure he will get to understand!

    I am really started to teach my kids about this, :(

  22. I think it's quite difficult to teach and for them to fully comprehend at this age. Just gotta keep a closer eye lor.....that's why those Japs wear a leash on their kids in a city with MILLIONS of people. But I'm just glad that Jayden is safe. Hope you had a merry Xmas!

  28. His responses are so cute and totally innocent. Really entertaining to read how a child thinks.

    Don't worry, keep repeating a few times and he should be able to remember your warning!
