Kids say the darnest things...

[schellen]

My DH suggested I put this up here.


Just now, my DD was talking on the phone with her best friend from kindergarten. They go to different primary schools now so they had a lot to catch up on. At first, I thought it was just going to be s short chat but after 5 minutes or so, I started reminding my DD that if she wanted to do other things, she had better hang up soon. The following is after 1-2 times of reminding.


Me: If you don't stop soon, you won't have time to do the other things you want to do, you know.
DD: Yes, yes, yes. I'm talking here, you know so don't disturb me. I don't disturb you when you talk on the phone, right? Go eat your dinner lah.
Me: :roll:

I tuned out a bit to eat my dinner, as \"commanded\" and when I tuned back in a few minutes later, I heard the following.

DD: Do you know that my school has a hall? Do you have a hall? H-A-L-L, you know.
Me (listening in background and thinking): (Okaaaay, since she is in P1, maybe she doesn't know how other pri schs are like.)
DD: What about canteen?
Me: .....
DD: Do you have toilet?
At this point, I think her friend went
DD: Of course you have toilet. Otehrwise, when you urgent, where will you go? Pass urine in the drain?

Me: :faint:

>Does your school have parade square and the flag? Cool huh..
But i dun like. Fall down there very painful. Tar you know.
>Does your canteen sell fishball? Wuaaah! Have as well?

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.
