Compass

Timmy has been watching Pororo DVD and he loves it.
In one of the episodes, there was a scene where they find directions with compass and Timmy asked me to buy one for him and I refused.

Instead of buying one for him, I took out the brochure of our cluster and showed him that there is compass like direction too. North, South, East, West. Then asked him to find out where is the location of our house in the map.
Me: Tim, can you find out where is our house located in this map?
Tim: This one.
Me: How about the route that you go through when you ride your bike?
Tim: Here......with his fingers tracing down the route.
Me: How about the security gate? Where is it? Do you know?
Tim: Here.
Me: How about Andrew's house?
Tim: Here.
Me: Now, Tim, do you see this legend with the color? This correspond to the width of the house. See this is our house color, now do you know what's the width of our house? What about Andrew's house? What about David's house?

It was not until his dad came home and Benny thought that compass is good to get him thinking. That Benny bought it for him.

Now he hangs his compass around his neck whenever he goes out, rides a bike, even when we wanna go somewhere in a car. Tim...Tim...
