Hello all,
Just came across this site this tonight. My son kind of unnerved me at bedtime and I began researching. To start, when I myself was young, say 3 or so, I always claimed that I had a Japanese mother, and when I was mad at my mother, I'd say things like, "My Japanese mother never made me do that!" My dad was in the military and we spent 6 months in Okinawa, so it was not unusual that I would know that word at age 3.
When my third child was born, I was really worried that he might have downs syndrome, because his eyes were very Asian. The doctor reassured me that he had no other signs of downs and she was right, but his eyes have remained the same. Children who don't know him often comment on his eyes, "why are his eyes like that?" etc. I've always believed in reincarnation and my husband and I joked that it's just a feature left over from a previous life. I've even tried a few phrases in Japanese to try and spark some recognition. No luck!
However, in the last couple of days, he's said some things that unnerved me. The other day while riding in the car, he said "Can I be killed?" (He's three and speech is still baby-like so it was more like, "tan I be tilt?" I tried to explain to him that killed meant that he wouldn't be w/Mommy and Daddy anymore and of course he wouldn't be killed. He started crying and saying "PLEASE, Mommy, tan I be tilt? I want to." He's always been a very happy child, so this really threw me for a loop! Anyway, tonight when I was lying down with him at bedtime, he was turned on his stomach and I thought he'd given up the fight, when he says, " I not want to." So I say, " you don't want to go to sleep?" and he says "No, I not want to till you." "Kill me?" I ask. "uh hun, I not want to cut your throat off" so I say, "Honey, why would you say that?" and he just keeps saying, "I not, I not want to." He finally covered his ears to let me know that subject was closed. We don't watch any violent movies and I can't for the life of me figure out why he would say these things! Sorry this is so long, but this is just one of those times when you have to get it off your chest! Anyway, anybody have any thoughts/comments on this? Could it be something from a past life, something violent we've gone through together? Any thoughts would be appreciated!
