I saw this video and it brought tears to my eyes,our kids look up to us as their heros.We should remember as parents that they are always watching us.My kids repeat everything I say in front of them,this has made me to be more careful around them.I was surprised on Monday when my 4 years old son was repeating exactly what I use to tell him when its time for his taekwondo class.That day was a public holiday and he was not suppose to attend that day.It came as a surprise when at about the time we usually go out for him to join the bus,he was calling his own and saying it was time to for taekwondo.This is not a bad one what of where a kid was asked by their dinner guest what they were having for dinner;his answer was goat.The guest thinking that his host were preparing a goat meat dish for dinner but what a shock he got when the small boy told him that he heard his parents saying, “lets invite that goat over for dinner”.

It was morning and we all woke up. After that we did what we usually always do (I hope you haven’t forgotten). Then we went across the bridge to Itaewon, down near the bank and parked in the parking lot. I noticed that we were going on a cruise. We got out of the car and went down on this medium steep step (I was carrying Joel). We went down and got our ticket in the lunch bar (I suppose), we were leaving by three forty five, and well we had a lot of time. So we let Joel and Shawn walk freely. While me and my dad followed each of them behind. The time came and my dad followed each one behind. The time came and we went outside (it was raining), with everyone who came with us at the same time. The boat had two floors; we went up and found a seat. When everyone was ready there was an announcement that we were going on a cruise for an hour and there is going to be a stop. So the boat started moving we saw different bridges and why they were built. We stopped and saw some more bridges. The boat turned back to the lunch bar, entered our car and went to eat dinner at our favorite restaurant. We crossed the bridge and entered Seoul. We headed for our hotel and did what we usually do.

It was morning and everyone woke up, we usually did what we do, except that everyone was packing. We were leaving the hotel today and everyone was packing was the same way we did has we left our apartment in Ulsan. When we finished packing, we all went to the reception room and gave the card to the service helper. They took the card and we went down, into our car (with the luggage that my dad already packed, while we were packing). My dad drove us to a church and we met one of my dads friend. He took us to the church and told us to have a seat. A nice man took our coats and hanged them carefully. As we sat, everyone started singing, the pastor preached, we did offering and then church was over. As we got into our car. We told everyone in Itaewon and Seoul goodbye, and then we headed for the gate of Seoul. Then we were on our way to our home in Ulsan
It was morning I woke up and we did what we usually did. We all went to Yongsam electronics market and stopped at a parking lot. Mum, dad, and kachi left. They told me that I had to look after Joel and Shawn (asleep) while they were gone. So they went out (I don’t know where they went) and as soon has they disappeared, Shawn woke up. Both of Shawn and I started playing a game (which we don’t know), then Joel woke up and minded his own business. I remembered about their food, my mum told me about, so I gave them their food and they drank happily. When they have finished eating. My dad came and took the camera bag (I noticed that they went to a Cannon place. So as my dad disappear from sight, Shawn and I started playing the game again and Joel still minded his own business. Finally my parents and kachi came, they entered the car and we went to a camera photo shop. This time only my mum and dad went, because three of my brothers were sleeping (I looked after them). When my parent came, they came excitedly into the car and saying, “this last one was better” or “it’s always better in the end.” And I was like in my head saying, “whatever you say lets just go home.” We went back to the African Restaurant and ate dinner, after we went to Seoul, into our hotel and did what we usually do.

When everyone woke up, we did what we always usually did. We went to Itaewon (I was asleep when we reached there), we went through a market street with a car. When we found somewhere to park. We came out of the car and went into this big market place and we stayed there for thirty minutes, then mum went, after my dad asked me where was kachi? I said that he should be with mummy, my dad left and my mum came without kachi (I thought mummy and daddy met on the way, so Kachi went with dad). My mum said where is kachi and I said I thought he was with you (this is when I knew kachi was lost). My mum went to search for daddy, but daddy said he didn’t know (then I notice that kachi was really lost). Then dad and mum went to search for him, while I was with the twins. They found him in the police office. Mummy bought her golf bag and we all went out of the market and went to our favorite restaurant for dinner. Then we went to the mall on our back to our hotel, my mum bought a watch and perfume then we went back to the hotel and did what we usually do.
It was morning and we did what we usually do (wake up, shower, wear our clothes, ate breakfast, pack and into the car). We went to Itaewon and stopped near lots of shops, and we saw Uncle John and his friend. They got into the car, and then my mum went to “Burger King” to get us lunch (wait, we ate breakfast, came to Itaewon and ate lunch, there must be a mistake but I don’t remember). My dad was on the phone while we ate our lunch. When I finished my lunch, I went to sleep… when I woke up; I saw Uncle John and his friend. In fact they were in the front seat, (so which means my mum and dad and also went out to where?). I came to where kachi sat and asked Uncle John where my parents were and he said that they went to get something for the camera (mummy and her camera business). So when mum came back, she gave Shawn and Joel their food. Then mum went back and came back with dad and Kachi, they got into the car (uncle john and his friend came back to the back seats) and we went to Seoul. (We came out of the car and into our room) When we got in, my mum made white rice for Uncle John and his friend, dad, me, and for her (my dad talked with Uncle John and his friend while eating). When my dad went to drop Uncle John and his friend, I did what I usually do (shower, wear PJ, get blanket for Joel and Shawn and then sleep), except Shawn and Joel.

It was morning and we did what we usually do (referred on the page before this). This time mummy went to the bank in the hotel and they said that they had no service or they couldn’t help. One of the service helper took mummy and the family outside and directed only my mum to come with her (or was it mummy who told us not to come). After she went, my dad went on the phone and started talking and got into an argument. Mummy came back and told me that she needed to go to the Citibank. She saw dad talking on the phone and then we went to the car except for my dad. As we got in the car, Shawn or Joel started crying (I think it was Joel). My mum carried Joel to daddy, while Shawn, kachi and I were in the car. Daddy came back with Joel and mum behind him. We all got into the car and went to the Citibank (let just skip the parking and when mum went in and came out). Then dad drove us to a building where there was Cannon Company (but that didn’t work). So we went to a KT building (I am not sure about the building’s name), but that didn’t work. So we went to eat dinner in the “Happy Home Restaurant” in Itaewon. When we finished, we went to our hotel in Seoul and did what we usually did (referred on the page before this).
This essay is from my son in regards to the assignment I gave him.

Our Easter Spring Holiday in Seoul
It was afternoon and we were packing up for going to Seoul. My parents went out to buy valuables that we needed for the holiday. While I was with my brother and ironing their clothes that were dry, also selecting the clothes for my holiday. My parents came back and we all started packing our clothes and food. We got all ready and went to the car (My dad packed the bags in the car while we were packing). We all got into the car and headed for the tour gate. After five we left Ulsan and headed for Seoul. In three hours time we stopped and went into a driver’s restaurant. Mum went to make food for Shawn and Joel, while they were eating. Everyone took turns to ease themselves and I was the last. We went back to the car and continued our journey to Seoul. The next two hours we were in Seoul and in the next one hour we were in “Human Starville Hotel (the same name that we had last time we were in Seoul for Christmas holiday).” We got a parking place, and then a service helper came with a carriage for luggage. So we went into the elevator, upstairs to the reception to get our card and the room number, then we went to our room that was 1408. We took our luggage from the carriage and unpacked at past twelve. I took a shower while mummy was ordering for a blanket for Joel and Shawn to sleep. When they finished unpacking I came out and everyone went to sleep except Joel and Shawn.

It was morning and I woke up. My brother was already up and all of them had a shower after my dad had taken a shower. After my mum to a shower and when I finished taking a shower, we all wore our clothes and ate breakfast. Shawn and Joel were in the pushchair, while my mum told to put the things we needed in the bag (I didn’t know where we were going). So when everyone was ready, we all went to basement two (parking lot), into our car. When everything was in the car, we headed out of the hotel and into the street. I think we went to Itaewon and bought something, after we went to happy home restaurant. We ate lunch and waited for uncle John. After an hour we met Uncle John, Mike, and Sky came. Uncle John brought a gift for my mum (which was food stuffs) and then the talking began. After four or five hours in the restaurant, everyone was a hundred percent tired. Then everyone left the restaurant. We went back to our hotel, into our room. Everyone ate dinner and got ready for bed (and went to sleep).
