Cherries - 25 Feb 2019

One fine night, during our pillow talk:

JM: Mommy, can you buy cherries for me to eat? I really like it when I first ate it at uncle's house.

Mommy: But I've bought you cherries before when you were younger, do you remember?

JM: That was so many years ago Mommy! That's in 2013!!  (2013 was the year he was born) How can I remember the taste from so long ago!!! 😁

Billy - 22 Feb 2019

One night, during our pillow talk:

JM: You know Mommy, today Eugene woke up and went to fight with Billy.  And he woke me up.
Mommy: Why did Eugene fight with Billy?
JM: Huh?
Mommy: What happened? Why did Eugene go over and fight with Billy?
JM: What?
Mommy: You said Eugene woke up, and then went to fight with Billy
JM: No, he didn't fight with Billy. He went to fight with a boy, but I don't know his name. There's no one called Billy in school. 😅
JZ: Mommy, why did Billy wake up and fight with Eugene?
JM: No, its Eugene who woke up and fight with a boy.  But it's not Billy!  There's no one called Billy! 😂


Then the next night, during pillow talk again:

JZ: Mommy, why did Eugene wake up and fight with Billy?
JM: There's no one in school called Billy
Mommy: But you said billy yesterday, both "didi" and me heard it
JM: Just forget it Mommy!  😂

How was your day? - 29 October 2018

Ever since my boy entered pre-school, I used to ask him, "How was your day today", "What did you do today?", "Did you have fun in school today?".  He would give me a short answer of "Yes".  But occasionally he would elaborate further only during our daily routine pillow talk time.

Then one fine day, he started to ask me about MY day too.😲

JM: Mummy, tell me about your day today
Mummy: There's nothing to tell, nothing special happened.
JM: But I heard you telling daddy about your day in the car
Mummy: Oh I was just telling daddy about my plans for the next day.  It wasn't about my day today. Nothing special happen so I have nothing to tell you.
JM: Okay. (And then he goes on to tell me about his day.)
.....
JM: And then I had half boiled eggs, and then I did my drawing...
(I was quite surprised the school serve half boiled eggs) 
Mummy: How did your half boiled eggs look like?
JM: Eggs cut into half lo
Mummy: Oh, that is a called half of a "hard" boiled eggs.  Half boiled eggs are different
JM: Oh okay, I had half of a hard boiled eggs then


On another occasion:

JM: Mummy let's pillow talk.  Tell me about your day
Mummy: Well, nothing special happened so there really is nothing to tell
JM: Even though nothing special happened, I still want to hear about your day. Come on, tell me
Mummy: Oh well, okay. 😊
