A nice gesture
-----------------

A few days ago I was on the MRT when this dad came in with his 2 kids. People who takes the MRT probably realised a lot of times, kids like to stand on the seat right?

Years ago, when I went to Japan, we were taking the public bus and my auntie's boy (not my real auntie, but it's my friend's mum's friend) was that age where he likes to stand also. And according to her, in Japan, if your kid were to stand on the seat with their shoes on, the parents will be reprimanded. She was taking off her kid's shoes as she was telling us. But in Singapore, pple just don't really care about that right? Kids stand on the seats with their shoes on! Haha...

Anyway, this dad was so nice. His kid was kneeling on the seat and he took his shoes off for him, knowing that he would soon progress to standing on the seat. Sure enough, after his dad took off his shoes, he stood on it.

His older brother wanted to follow suit, and guess what? He took off his sandals too before standing on the seat! How considerate.
