Ant bite

The magic phrase that mom has trained Bryan on to prevent him from going into “forbidden places” is “mah yi yau” (ant bite). Mom has once shown Bryan a live ant, and then told him that “mah yi yau” and then pinch him. So he sort of got the message that ant bites are painful.

So when Bryan wants to wander off alone, we will say “Mah yi yau”, and he will quickly make a u-turn and come crawling fast-fast to us.

It works at times such as when we are in the living room and Bryan wants to wander to the kitchen or bedroom.

Sometimes when Bryan starts to wander, hubb will just say, “Go la, go la, …got mah-yi one errr…..” And Bryan will also pusing balik … :D :D

The only time this trick does not work is when there is someone else in that room. Somehow he figured that if someone is already there, and no mah yi yau, then there is nothing to fear as well.

You clever notty boy!

    We don’t use the monster trick because we don’t want him to be afraid of the unknown. But the police one is a good trick leh…how to get him to understand wat police is?
