My Garwyn Tung aka Mr (Teeny Weeny) Incredible! To-date, whatever misadventures that will likely happen to kids, you name it, I may possibly have experience it!
1. Hand trapped on lift door
I fetched him from school. Everyone were waiting for lift to arrive at level 5. When the lift landed at 5, he put his hand on the closest edge of the door and it opened with his hand in it. It happened so fast, I could not pull his hand out in time. Luckily, he is Mr Teeny Weeny so I was able to pull his trapped hand out.
He was crying in the lift and I could hear Mummies telling either the caregivers or kids that they had to be careful of thing like that... It made me felt I was a lousy mummy!
2. Trapped foot on escalator
As mentioned in my early blog
3. Lost! (Gone in 60 secs)
Most common. He is a happy wanderer and worst, don't like to hold my hands. It just takes seconds to lose him!
4. Trapped in lift alone
I dunno how it happened. The door closed and he didn't come out! I needed to run down the stairs to every lift landing to look for him! While racing down, all kinda of possible mishaps kept going through in my head! I saw a couple when the lift opened and he was not in it. The couple told him he was at ground floor with another couple. They insisted to bring me to him. In the lift, I was so embarrassed I dunno what to excuse myself from being perceived as lousy mommy again!
5. Missed the escalator
He was holding my hand and my hands were full with his school bag & groceries. Told him to hold me tight. He was able to just stand there and not moving at all when I already put my foot on the moving escalator. He stood there and cried while watching me move away... A kind lady held his hand and brought him down! Another bad impression on me!

What else can happen? TOUCH WOOD!
