For the last 3 days, Rui has been staying at home as she is down with cousin virus of HFMD. This is the 3rd time rui has gotten it. Momma is glad it was very mild this time round, with just a few mouth ulcers and low grade fever that lasted 2 days.
Anyway, because of her presence at home (she will be in child care otherwise), she and Yan have had lots of chance to play and fight together. Yan is the tougher (and more mischievious) of the 2 and she will hit her sis for no rhyme or reason, just to watch her sister's reaction. Rui, being very very gu-niang, will only retaliate by complaining to Momma that Yan has hit her, once again. This happened so many times and Momma got sick of settling their "fights". So at the advice of Aunt V (who is also stranded at home because her kid also kena HFMD cousin), Momma told Rui "Stop complaining to me. Fight back."
So Rui did just that, though hesitantly at first. She first gave Yan a feeble shove. Yan, surprised at the different reaction from her sis, then hit back. Rui shoved her again, this time slightly harder and bolder. Yan, even more surprised now, retaliated by hitting back again. This went on three times till Rui sternly said to Yan "Yan Yan, say sorry". Now that's the reaction Yan was anticipating and she willingly said "Sorrgee". The two girls then reconciled and hugged together.
Momma was watching from one corner and could not help but laugh. Pity Momma's slow reaction meant all that wasn't recorded. But since such incidents occurred througout the day countless times, momma will get her chance again later.
