The Sentimental Her

Taiwan Show
When Elyse was about two and a half years old, Ah Ma had been following a Taiwan TV Hokkien show.  Elyse does not watch the show, but sometimes she happened to see some parts of the story which triggered her curiosity, so she began to ask questions.  One day, the plot of the story talked about a mother fell off the stairs and died as a result, leaving her son behind weeping for the lost of his mom.  Elyse began to ask what happen and Ah Ma explained to her.  Then Elyse cried.  Mummy tried to console her but it did not work.  Finally, Ah Ma told Elyse the mother did not die but merely injured.  Then only she stopped crying.

The Sound of Music
Just recently, Daddy introduced Elyse to this beautiful, classic musical: The Sound of Music.  Daddy sat by her side and explained the story to her while she set her eyes on the TV.  At the part when Captain Von Trap sang for the first time and all the children were shocked, Elyse asked Daddy why.  Daddy explained that when the children's mummy died long time ago, the Captain became very sad and stopped singing.  So the children never heard their daddy sing before.  Then Elyse began to cry.  Mummy gave her a hug and we stopped the movie.  And that's the end of The Sound of Music....
