Singlish

Every day when I come back , I would ask him if he's a good boy. Did you hit anyone in school? Do you fight? (This is after he had a bout of fighting incidents in school)

This week, he told me that he's a good boy and didn't fight. 

When Ah Pa put him to sleep , Ah Pa asked him again in confidence :

Pa: 今天有没有乖乖?
C: 有..
Pa: 真的吗?
C: 没有,没有乖.. 
Pa: 为什么?
In a resigned tone and with a Singlish twang 
C: 打架咯... 被老师罚咯 
Pa: 跟谁打架? 
C: 加君咯.. Asher 咯.. 他们打我咯....

Not sure to what extent it's true Cox I've seen how he would initiate a fight when someone snatches his toy or intruded into his comfort zone. But we were just amused by the tonality of the entire conversation.

That day Ah Pa locked the bedroom door to lay the Alphabet mat on the floor and thereafter, he went to bathe. As such, Cayen couldn't go in and he was slamming on the door and crying for quite a while for his Ah Pa to open the door. 

That night during bedtime stories , he didn't pay much attention at the start of the session, he looked at Ah Pa with a pained look and said 
"我找你找得好久” (with a wounded puppy look) 

Sounds like some lyrics ..
