“After I told them that was not acceptable, they went right ahead and did it.”
James Cameron
Recalling the times I babysit my nephews and nieces, I enjoy being with them. It makes me feel like kids once more. Young. Innocent. Vibrant. Carefree. They have no worries what the current world is having about. Only know about playing and crying and fighting and seeking attention.
Back then when they were young and curious, they tend to like to do things when we told them not to. Just like when I told them, don't play with fire. What they did? They go and play with it. I have this niece whom now studying in secondary school once did a thing we asked her not to. She was only 4 years old back then. My aunt and uncle operate a stall. Food stall to be exact. Selling grilled stuff, which we need to have hot and spicy stuff as sauces. Hence, we have to grind the chili, lime, and some other trade secret ingredients that makes the chili sauce one of the best in Setapak, some say Gombak as well.
Once fine day, she was sitting next to my aunt and me handpicking the good chili and separating the bad ones. Somehow, she managed to grab herself the chili and stuffed into her mouth. We was like flabbergasted when she chewed on it. A few times later, she stopped. Her facial expression changed. Tears forming at her eyes. The rest was history. We took hours and hours to get rid of the hotness at her lips and she ever since dare not touch the chili anymore.
I guess it's human nature to do things what they aren't suppose to do. The challenge and defying the authority. Like "No Smoking" and literally you see aplenty smoking around. When you told them "Do Not Touch" they go and touch. Reminds me of a friend of mine, where his gf asked him to use a bag which he choose not to. Nevermind but when asked him to pull out, he insisted to stay inside. What to do? "Kao Chut Yan Meng"1 and the rest is history.
