Kids!!

I try to keep a record of the funny things SW tells me.

"Jonathan cried in school twice today," said SW. Jonathan is the most popular boy in his class.

"What happened?"

"It's YH's birthday today, and teacher said he is the king today."

"Oh, I see. Jonathan enjoys being king, eh? So why did he cry the second time?"

"Teacher said that a second time!"

"I told teacher that last time Victoria said she wanted to marry me, now she doesn't want to marry me."

"Ah-huh, so what did your teacher say?"

"She said, "Why you bother?"!"

From around 5 to 6 years old, SW blushes when he sees girls showing flesh.

"Yeee, look at this girl," SW commented, pointing to an animated cartoon character in bustier.

"Do you think girls look nice wearing that?" I asked out of curiosity.

"No." He shook his head.

"Why do you think they wear them?"

He thought for a while and replied, "Because there is a hole in their shirt?"

"Look at this girl, she's botak(bald)", SW commented, pointing to Ventress in his Star Wars The Clone Wars book.

"Why is she botak?"

"She has given her hair to Count Dooku! Hahaha!"

"????"

I wish I had taken more notes of what the kids say.

Kind? Not with Kinderjoy!

Ah-yi (aunty) bought this for me and kor kor (brother),

but I want them ALL to myself.

So LA helped me put stickers all over them.

Princess stickers!

So they will ALL be mine!

You know, mommy, that's when good girls

become bad girls!

- CH, with a wicked grin, over Kinderjoy -

Strawberry of my Eye

Yummy strawberry

So red and juicy

Have you seen one

As big as this one?

It's as big as my palm!

Uninterrupted Play

Yelling "go do this" and "go do that" at the kids can become habitual unless one stops to look at what the kids are up to before doing so.

Enjoying a cookie by the window on a lazy afternoon, behind the blinds, away from mommy's prying eyes...I couldn't bring myself to spoil their moment.

Psuedo Pleats

This hair band was a rare find, and I thought it gave me an idea of how CH would look in long hair.

I bought the hairband when CH was 2+. Now 4, it still fits her well. Unfortunately, it is rather warm to wear in the hot weather in Singapore, so CH only wears it for dress-up. Below is how she looked the first time I tried it on her. You cannot see it here, but she was folding her arms wondering what I was up to!
