What should you say when yr kid fell down

Old folks tend to believe that the adult should beat the floor and mumble a few words whenever a child fell down. This is to drive away the "fear" from the kid.

Here's what the adult should say (while hitting the floor (same spot where the child fell) at the same time):
gia1 hee3 boh3 gia1 dah4,
pang4 sai4 kim1 ga2 nah4.

This literally translate to the following (in English):
scared the ears but dont scare the guts,
pass out motion as gold olive.
