Gooly got the blues

Yesterday morning, he awoke as usual, chirpy as can be. He helped me with some laundry, coloured some pictures and asked for permission for a video to watch.

"Roo's Springtime"....

It was a baaaaaaaad choice. Even though, he had probably watched it a gazillion times, for some weird reasons (which I will find out later), he started crying at the climax of the movie. The part where Rabbit, the problematic long-ear, refused to let Piglet, the homo, Tigger, the ADHD and Pooh, the sissy to have a party.

Ish!

Anyways, I explained about the characteristics for each of them (not the problematic, ADHD, homo, sissy parts laa. Siau meh?). I said Rabbit is always grumpy and impatient and unpleasant. But what is more important is, it's a cartoon, it's supposed to be entertaining. If it upsets him so, no point watching, haimoe?

He seemed to have understood me.

Then, towards the end, the tears came again.

Sungguh emo, I tell you. But I just let him be, because I am also the sort to cry at the movies. (The last was X-men Part 3 on video, when Professor X died!) but I knew something else was bugging him. He just didn't know how to verbalize it.

I held him for a while and offered some gummies to cheer him up - something Professor Dumbledore would do to a distressed student. ; P While chewing, the tears were still streaming down.

"My dear Gooly, meh si jek? Why so blue? Is it Monday Blues?Tummy ache? Got sumsi?"

But he felt better after a while. Pocoyo put him in a lighter mood.

Kids get the blues also, eh? Strange...

Later, I brought up the topic again. Drilled and drilled and finally he told me, he missed papah. Papah was due for a business trip, and he had started missing him already.

My Gooly is so sentimental. Haiz..please handle with care.
