My Nephew - 弟子规

Last year I posted about my nephew reading 弟子规. Recently he even knows how to apply it. That day I took his bag in front of him, he said '倘不问 即为偷', meaning taking other's belongings without permission is considered stealing.

Yesterday I was looking at him eating. Then he said his teacher teaches that it is not nice to look at others eating. I just smiled and continued to look at him. Then he said '不关己 莫闲管', meaning don't be busybody if it doesn't concern you.

I was speechless...
