Teacher: Bremen mummy, Bremen was bitten today by his classmate. It's a bit red and we have applied ice pack on the bite.
Mummy: Who bite him? What happened?
Teacher: Eh... It was XXX (name not disclosed to protect the child & parents =P). Dun worry, Bremen didn't cry. He was very brave. XXX was holding a balloon and Brement wanted to play too. He was pulling XXX's shirt sleeve. When we tried to separate them, XXX bite him.
Mummy: So, will you be informing the parent?
Teacher: Yes, we will call the parent as well.
Mummy: Oh ok, is there blood ?
Teacher: No, it was a bit red.
Mummy: I'm worried that Bremen will pick up the habit. He already has 16 teeth. It will be very painful if he goes round biting pple.
Teacher: Dun worry, Bremen knows that its not right to bite. He was "telling" XXX that XXX cannot bite. [Note: Bremen cannot talk yet.]. Becos the kids still cannot talk, so they tend to use actions to express their unhappiness.
Mummy: Ok then (still thought it was a harmless bite)
When Mummy reached the school, every teacher along the way told her that I was bitten by XXX.. Mummy was thinking something is not very right. I came out with a super big handiplast on my arm... Here is the second conversation.
Mummy: Wow, such a big plaster. The bite was very big????
Teacher: Oh, Bremen is scratching it, so i pasted a plaster.
Mummy: Is it that bad..can I see the wound?
Teacher: Ok, i show you (removing the plaster)
Mummy's OS: OMG, this is a VERY BIG bite lo
Mummy: Did she bite and pull? How come like that?
Teacher: No she didn't. We already talked to the mother.The mother said that she was teething and has been biting things at home too...
Mummy's OS: My Bremen also teething lo.. but he no bite classmate lei.
Mummy: Is she sick?
Teacher: No, she is not..
Mummy: Ok. [Already fuming inside]
This is the bite...
