While I was giving my Dec composition course today, Keane went to my parents' house.
He came back with this G.I. Joe hat. He loves it and said it's an army hat.
He also took out his long gun to play shooting.
After he had his fun, I took the opportunity to tell him about War and Peace.
I explained to him about the importance of World Peace, and the negativity of War.
War brings nothing constructive at all. It destroys homes, trust and love.
Keane then asked me about the North and South Korea War we saw in the News. (He will watch News with me sometimes if he hasn't sleep yet and I will tell him what happened around the world)
He asked, "Why is there war if it is bad?"
I told him the greed and anger inherent in human beings causes war.
I added, "Sensei said, 'Nothing is more barbarious than war.' "
He then told me matter-of-factly, "Mummy don't worry. I'm just playing shooting, not going to war."
"I know, darling. Just want to tell you the importance of World Peace." I kissed him.
After our conversation, I visited the washroom. I heard Keane chanting when I came out. I immediately grabbed my cam and rushed out to the living room to film him. I dare not go close in case he stops chanting upon seeing me... I sneakily zoomed on him... Of course he still caught me in the end. He smiled at me and I joined him in chanting. =)
