Pay Attention

We always encourage Phoebe to read to Reuben whenever possible because this will help Phoebe to improve in her reading skills. She will also feel more confident when she is able to read well. Reuben, on the other hand, will benefit from Phoebe's reading to him. We can also steal some time to take a short rest while Phoebe takes over the reading job. They can self-entertain each other, thus, fostering stronger sibling bond.

On this particular evening, Phoebe was trying to read to Reuben but the little boy was obviously distracted. Phoebe tried to help her brother to stay focused and she suddenly yelled out at him (with style and accent). For a moment, Reuben was stunned. I was stunned too. Phoebe carried on reading to Reuben, oblivious to how Reuben had felt.

After a while, Reuben regained his composure and decided to play prank. His sister, again, yelled at him but the effect was watered down. Reuben chuckled mischievously as he witnessed his sister getting exasperated. In the end, Phoebe gave up, much to the amusement of Reuben and me! (^_^)
