Malcolm loves to eat fish and has an impeccable ability to separate the bones from the fish. During lunch time yesterday, he decided to share with me how he did it.
Malcolm : ‘Mummy, do you know how I eat fish ?’
Mummy : ‘How ?’
Malcolm : ‘I put the fish in my mouth,
roll it with my tongue and bite it with my teeth.
If the fish is lying horizontal,
I use the front teeth to bite
If the fish is lying vertical,
I use my side and back teeth to bite.
Certain teeth are good at certain things.
If I feel a bone, I will separate it with my tongue
and spit out the bone.’
I figured out that my 4 year old is more patient and careful when it comes to eating fish.
I love how well he can explain his ‘strategies’! Oh. and so cute!
Hi 4Malmal, smart kid you have there, ha ha.
I too love to eat fish, especially fish and chips.
You have a great week and keep well, Lee.
He is so smart! my 6yrs old daughter still insist on us taking out the bones for her. Must pass her Malcolm’s strategy in “deboning” the fish.
that’s some theory isn’t it and good old me didn’t even realise it! I always ‘un-bone’ the fish before I put into my mouth!
he is AMAZING at 4!
Smart kid! But i prefer to unbone the fish before put into the mouth. :p
hi kole,
I actually went…oh…errh…ok with a serious straight face, while trying to hold back my laughter.
hi u.lee,
I usually cook the fish the chinese style, fish and chips is nice too but we only get to eat it in the restaurant.
hi blessed mum,
such as ‘WAH u r better at eating fish than Mummy!!!’
maybe u can try, + lots of praise
hey angeline,
we usually ask him not to mix rice or any other food in his mouth with fish, so that he can concentrate on ‘picking’ out the bones before swallowing.
hi moo mummy,
we try to debone for him as much as possible but sometimes we just miss it. btw i love MOO
yeah…one smart kid! i usually debone the fish first…hahaha…
