One afternoon when we brought Elyse out to the mall...
Elyse: Mummy, Mummy, I want to buy this!
Mummy: But you already have colour pencils at home.
Elyse: I like this, I want to buy this.
Mummy: No, Elyse. At home you have two colour pencil boxes. You don't need this.
Elyse: But I want to bring this to the school.
Mummy: Elyse, the school provides the colour pencils for you. You don't need to bring colour pencils to school.
Elyse: But my friend has this. (Pause) Buy this for my birthday lar, Mummy.
Mummy: Are you sure? You want this for your birthday?
Elyse: Ya, then I can bring this to school.
Looks like even a 4-year-old nowadays also experience peer pressure.
