Half a year ago, I wrote about Zara going into an internal turmoil or worry state where she kept thinking of the worst of things and kept asking what happens if<\/a>….. While things at school has improved, she’s still a worry wart. <\/p>\n

One day before bed time, she found a mosquito in the room. She asked Daddy to swat and kill it. It wasn’t easy to spot the mosquito, so after a while, Daddy gave up. Zara got worried.
\nZara : What happens if the mosquito sting me?<\/span>
\nMe : It’s ok, you’ll just get an itch.<\/span>
\nZara : NOOOO. What happens if it has plasmasodium?<\/span>
\nMe : o.O Plas-WHAT?<\/span>
\nZara : Plasmasodium, the parasite that caused dengue.<\/span>
\n(It’s actually Plasmodium<\/a>. I googled later then found out.)
\nMe : o.O …..<\/span><\/p>\n

And another day, she put a pencil in her mouth (don’t know why she did that).
\nZara : Dad, I put a pencil in my mouth. And I think I accidentally ate some of the lead. What will happen to me?<\/span>
\nDaddy : Nothing will happen to you.<\/span>
\nZara : I remember you told me lead is poisonous. What happens if I got poisoned?<\/span>
\nDaddy : The pencils now are made with safe lead. It’s not poisonous any more.<\/span>
\n…..
\n(thought it was over)
\nZara : Dad, how long ago was pencil lead still poisonous?<\/span>
\nDaddy : Maybe 30 years ago?<\/span>
\nZara : When did you get that pencil?<\/span> (referring to the pencil she put in her mouth)
\nDaddy : Don’t know. Maybe last year.<\/span>
\nZara : What happens if the pencil was 30yrs old?<\/span>
\nDaddy : It cannot be.<\/span>
\nZara : What happens if you forgot but the pencil was actually something you have for 30yrs?<\/span>
\no.O” Oh.. she can go on.<\/p>\n

Other things she worries :
\nSuch as when Daddy cuts her fruits, she’ll ask him, “Did you wash your hands?<\/span><\/p>\n

Or when Daddy offers her a piece of Tamagoyaki<\/a> from his sashimi plate, she’ll tell him off, “You took that from the same plate as the raw fish and you want me to eat? I don’t want to get salmonella<\/a>, ok?.”<\/span><\/p>\n
