What naughty thing did Matthew do?
HE DREW ON THE WALL!!!
I got to put this on record. We have always allowed Matthew free access to his crayons and colour pencils. He would scribble on big drawing papers (recycled from my office) and on the marble floor because it's easier to clean. On 1 October 2006, he decided to venture into the unknown! He scribbled on the floor all the way up to the wall behind the dining table.
We didn't know at first. Papa used a wet cloth to wipe the scribbles on the floor. Thank goodness it was the Crayola Washable crayons, so that came off quite easily.
But our little friend stood next to the wall and said in Mandarin, "Papa, this is dirty. Papa, clean here!" He kept pointing to the wall, only then we realised that he drew on the wall. Now our wall has a spray coating and it made cleaning difficult!
For his mischief, Matthew got 2 little smacks on his hand from me and 2 from his father and his crayons and colour pencils confiscated. :p
