Kids say the darnest things...

[buds]

Heyya guys,


I remember now once after we came back from the library,
we were discussing the jokes we read from a riddle joke book
while we were there. So, hubs got a bit excited hearing the gals'
giggles, he asked, \"So had a good time at the library?\" Kids said,
\"Yeaaah, dad. We were reading all these funny jokes with mum at
the library... lemme give you one, k?\"

>Who do birds marry?
>Dunno? Their tweet-hearts.. Get it dad.. Get it?

>Ermm, how abt another one.. What do you call an angry game?
>Clue for you, dad... No need? I tell you the answer k. Crossword puzzle!

>Ok last one, last one.. What do you call quiet dogs?
>You quit? Its so easy... hush-puppies! Funny right dad...? Dad?

By this time, hubs didn't seemed tickled pink at all..
Then, after his quiet few minutes, he asked..

>Lemme give you one.. I'm sure you don't know this..
>Why did the chicken cross the road? Why? Why?

Kiddie shook her head.. Now looking a bit frustrated.. A bit sad..
A bit like fed up.. But, still dun wanna give up..

>Need a clue, baby.. How bout' daddy give u a hint... Want? Want?
>No. No need dad. I can do this, I can do this..



>Ah-haah!! I got it!!! .......... ermm i think..

K2 is my highly observant ONE.

This is one of our recent exchange..

While receiving change for my purchases,
I noticed K2 was observing us thoughfully.
(Me and cashier). As i was abt to put the
change given into my wrist bag, she touched
my arm. And i just knew, a big question was
coming.

Kiddie:Mummy... can i see that?

Me:This $2 dollar note. Sure.

Kiddie:I wanted to ask you, who is this man?

Me:Oh, him? Yusof Ishak.

Kiddie:Why his face on the money?

Me:Errmm.. mebbe to honour him, remember him
for the great things he has done for our country.
He's president. First president of Singapore.

Sounding interested to know more, her eyes twinkled.
Ooh how i hate when she twinkles...

Kiddie:Really? So, what kinda great things did he do, mum?

Me: :siam:

Me:Hmmmm... too many to name. But i can check it out on the
internet when we reach home..

Kiddie:But, like some simple examples lah, mummy... :please:

Me:Well, in short... he did things to help Singapore develop and
grow from what it is then, few small villages to better things for
the people then on.. (i think).

Kiddie:Oh, i get it now, mummy.
HE'S THE ONE WHO PUT THE SEED...
HE'S THE ONE WHO PLANTED THE SEED...
You know... so Singapore cud grow.
:!:

For other parents who might come to this scenario in future.
Here is the link to basic history of his appointment as President.

Hmm... I've always thought he was the guy that sold away our Christmas Island to the Aussies?

Don't blame him lah, he become head of state in 1959 and Christmas Island was sold in 1957 to Australian for £2.9 million

Actually I also thought he sold Christmas Island away :oops:

Never knew there was a singapedia site until now

So anyone knew who is the guy that sold that Island away and denied me and my kids a chance to holiday there?

Heyya phantom,


Tks for the extra resources.
Ya! Nice how all research can
done via the fingertips, esp
since i’m not really the historian.

This scene might be familiar to caregivers to young toddlers:


DS/DD poos in their diaper.
First we check by opening up and taking a peep to check if that's where the smell comes from?
When I need to change DS2's soiled diaper, I would go 'eee...'.

This happened on a Saturday morning:
Our usual mornings would be woken up by the noise from our baby monitor, which indicates now that Gor Gor and Di Di are awake and interacting with each other.

So DH was kind enough to let me laze in bed that morning, while he goes 'entertaining' them in their room.
DH was sitting on DS2's study table and reading stories to DS2, while DS1 is already on his study table doing other things liao.

DH accidentally errm... farted, twice in fact.
So before DH could figure out what happened, DS2 stopped, came down from his seat, went around DH. Opened up his pants and took a peep into his pants. DS2 shrieked 'eee...' and DH was like :oops:

That's funny :laugh:
My 3yo DD has a funny habit. She would sit on her throne with her hands pressed tightly across her nose because \"it is so smelly\" :roll:
