Standing up for herself (Backdated post)
Tis incident happened more than 3 weeks ago and I kept telling myself never to forget blogging about it. It happened on the way to my mum place, Sher's grandma house. We took the train down my mum place and during one station, a 7YO boy entered the train and immediately sat between the seat of sher and another kid. Although both kids have a small space between them, but seriously, it's not a seat and he just sat w/o asking or anything. I was flabbergasted, Sher looked at me innocently, asking why this Kor kor was sitting on her seat. I told her to ask kor kor the question. Obviously, the mum of the boy was embarrassed and proceeded to apologise. She tried to ask her son to stand up but the boy refused and insisted on sitting.
Then, Sher asked the kor kor why he took her seat, the boy didn't reply him and continued playing with the other kid. Sher stood up and asked again, this time she raised her voice slightly "Kor Kor, why you sit on my chair?" The boy's mum then asked the boy to ask permission. Then, I asked sher again whether she wants to share her seat w Kor Kor and she obliged.
From this incident, I was relieved that she would be able to take care of herself when she start school next year.
