      DS: Mom… I scored XX marks for English and I think it was a high mark.


      Me: Really? How do you know it is high?

      DS: I asked my friends.

      Me: You’re an introvert. You dun have many friends… or so you said. So maybe those few you hang out with are all tooty.

      DS: Mom… when I say friends nowadays, I mean a far wider network of acquaintances. In fact it is only in the far depths of the FEMALE EMPIRE that I cannot reach.

            When dd was in primary school, she did not have any tuition so normally I would give her homeworks to do everyday. One of the day, she complained that I gave her too much homeworks and she felt very stressed. I ignored her and told her to do as circled on the pages, then I asked her 'how stress' could that be doing homeworks, immediately she said 'why not u do all the homeworks u given me, then you will know how stress I feel' I was like :stupid: :stupid: :stupid: In a way, she also let me feel that in life whenever we don't understand how others feeling, we must put ourselves in their shoes then we can understand better.........of course, not in the case of the undermentioned lah............ 😂 😂 :lol:

                    Two days ago ds initated an interesting conversation with me which went like this.


                    DS: Why do you give nai-nai money? (I always ask ds to pass the allowance to my mum)

                    Me: Because I'm a good son. (implicit meaning - you better be like me)

                    After a few moments deep in thought ....

                    DS: When you're old, you'll depend on me you know. (Is this a threat? Machiam I'll decide which old folks' home you go to, so better be nice to me)

                    Me: Huh?

                    DS: Just like now I'm depending on you. (That's more like it, gratitude son, don't you forget it)

                    After another pause ....

                    DS: You better make sure I do well next time or you'll have no food to eat when you're old.

                    Me: Huh? 🤷

                    That's when I quickly brought out all the assessments for him to do. Better make sure he do well mah!

                    Don't want to end up starving when I'm old. :slapshead:

                      my 3 year old asks me every morning "where am I going today?" and I’ll reply "You’re going to school today".


                      One day after I replied, he said "I can’t go to school everyday. Sometimes I need to go somewhere nice !"
