Having our usual chat in his room before sleeping.
K : Why are some children not sweet to their mummy?
Mum : Sweet?
K : Like me (he kisses my arm), I am always sweet to you

Mum : Maybe sometimes the mummy and the child do not spend enough time with one another. Everyone is busy with their own things and they forget how to be sweet (affectionate) to one another.
