Over lunch with his client, they randomly shared sentiments about their kids' obsession over computer games. and of cuz PSP and DS. Well, this particular uncle told old kid that his son is fanatically controlled by his DS. He even grabbed a knife from the kitchen to threaten his dad when he attempted to confiscate his DS. How drama can kids get nowadays! But anyway, the point is old kid got paranoid and this is what he did:
He came home and narrated the story to his dear daughter. Fearful that my bro might act out the same scene. But, being the worm in my bro's small intestine, i'm 100% confident that he will never even threaten anyone with a nail clipper. talk about kitchen knife. Old kid is clearly stressed at work. anyhow. guess what he did. he took a small box. stashed little boy's DS into it. and attached a lock on it. So now my bro's DS is trapped in that auspicious box. His rule: the box will only be opened from 10 to 11am and 7 to 8pm everyday. Key held in Ipah's hands. How more creative can he get. Of cuz, little boy peacefully accepted the arrangement :) i told you he's the nicest kid on earth.
Old kid's creativity actually dates back to the old times when i was in primary school. Being a naughty and playful kid, i was never a fan of 'studying'. so during PSLE period, in order to FORCE me to read my books, my dad locked our TV. Literally. What he did was pretty innovative. he removed the tv plug. drilled a hole through the rubbered area. (though i still cant figure out how he did that). and attached a lock on it. Picture it in your mind and u will see that by doing that, the plug can never get into the socket.
Give him a Nobel prize someone. He deserves it.
