Beware of my sons, they bite!

This is what happened...

Saturday
Gaby bit Alexius on the arm beos Alexius tried to snatch a toy from Gaby. I witnessed the whole incident... and to think that Gaby was so bold to do it with me looking on... Made me so angry! Anyway, Gaby was being punished for his act of biting and Alexius was scolded for snatching the toy from his brother. Gaby's punishment was a slap on his left palm because he bit his brother on the left arm. Actually, I would think that the slap was moderate... not too hard and not too light. but it made Gaby cried and complained that his palm was painful. I let him cried a bit and then told him to stop. And this was his response...

Me : Enough of crying.
Gaby : But you haven't told me something funny... how to stop crying? *sob*sob*sob*
Me : I am very angry now so how can I tell u something funny?

Sunday
Alexius bit Gaby on his right arm when both of them tried to squeeze under Alexius high-chair. And again, the incident happened right before my eyes. Actually, i was sitting in front of them trying to take some pictures of the 2 of them under the hair cos i tot they looked kind of funny. It was quite dark cos the i didnt switch on the lights. So from where I was looking, I tot I saw Alexius trying to push Gaby out with his head. Then suddenly Gaby was screaming in pain! When he managed to come out of under the chair, I examined his arm and saw that it was red and looked like a hard bite. Haizzz...
Alexius was punished with a slap on his right palm. But I think his skin is quite thick... did not seem to have any effect at all. And I oso took this opportunity to tell Gaby(not sure if he is really listening to me cos he was still crying) that his younger brother will learn whatever that he does.... monkey see monkey do... And after this I tried to comfort him a bit but Gaby being a drama king, couldnt stop crying. And Alexius kept wanting to help his big brother clean the tears away. Finally the crying stopped. Haizzz... but the episode is not over yet. When I was in my room trying to change Alexius diaper...

Gaby : Mummy, I was pretending to be a lion yesterday so that was why I bit didi.
Me : Next time dont pretend to be a lion that bites. I dont like lion that bites. Ok?
Gaby (started to cry again) : I am very upset that I cannot pretend to be a lion today. I can only be a frog becos I keep burping and having hiccups! *sob*sob*sob*
Me : ... ... (dont know wat to say. have to keep a straight face cos i nearly burst out laughing)
Me : why don't you go out and watch your favourite cartoon for a while. I will come and join you after I changed didi's diaper.

When I went to the sofa...
Me : darling, how are you feeling now?
Gaby (suddenly bursted into tears again) : My poor little arm!
Me : It doesn't look that bad now. I will put some cream over it after your shower.
Gaby : Mr poor little arm! *sob*sob*sob*
