said "yes"

I don't like when i ask my boys something, they don't answer me yes or no, when they are in the mood they will answer you, when they do things wrong they will just keep quiet. I want them to learn to admit things they do.

Last weekend, i bought breakfast for them, nasi lemak, meehoon, "tau foo fah". I told them to finish the food first then only can eat "tau foo fah", Fearles not happy about it. After a while, i come down from upstair, Cruz told me he finish his nasi lemak, when i ask Fearles has he finish the mee hoon, he didn't answer me, but sure me "sour face". I ask him again, has he finish the mee hoon? Just answer me "yes" or "no" he keep quiet again, after few times asking, i get angry, i raise my voice, he cried and told me "no, no finish!" I ask him why, he didn't answer, i told him, "it's ok to tell me you did not finish, but you have to answer me when i ask you yes or no, don't just keep quiet" he nodded his head.

Sunday morning, the boys woke up and i make them milk and on the tv for them. They drink their milk and watch tv and i take another few minutes to shut my eyes. I can hear two of them talking then Cruz start ask me something on the tv, so i just answer him "ng, ng, ng - as in yes", suddenly he said " Said YES, mummy!" it sound familiar, i fully awake i open my eyes wide and look at him and said "YES"! Now my turn to get it from them! :(
