Churches

Today is another day that I strongly believe what sacrifices we are doing is all worth it. 

Young: I envied my class/schoolmates whose parents drive their cars and drop them off. I took bus then, both school and public
Before marriage: I used to think in the past why some parents take the trouble to drive their children to work since there is the school bus.
After marriage: I strive to be as hands on as possible.
Now: The effort Pops, daddy and mummy makes to bring V to school and I LOVE IT!

The driving takes a toll at times, there are days where I feel I should sleep in Or do my work.

Today: upon turning to school

Mummy, why is there a church here and a church there?

Coz its different, although they are all christians there are many types like Anglican, Methodist or like us Catholic. If you notice, for us papa jesus is on the cross. Others (points to church) just have a cross.

Wow mummy, what else?

[thinking real hard how to answer, cox should I bring in religions crusades?]

Oh of course many others, but that I think mummy will explain when u are slightly older.

You know that day, you bring me in a place where there are alot of children and we sang songs. So nice mummy, can we go again?

Yes we can, but you have to be older to go. I think 5 yo.

But mummy , it will be great to go together becoz I don't know the numbers. I will be lost. we go together

Okie when you are older

Reaching school: so mummy what so different about my school?

*sweats// i think parenting as it grows, tests mind abilities... no longer physical.

Victoria Talks series

{Victoria talks series}

We have been dealing with Victoria inquisitive minds and questions. Many a time I want to write about it but don't really know how to start off. So today I decided to label these convos under Victoria Talks, at least we can look back on how cute she was.

Today on our way to school. In the middle of our convo

Mummy, why the lights not on? *points to the expressway lamps

Coz its now day not night and the lamps will be turned on only at night. The moon doesn’t shines as bright a the sun.

What about stars mummy, they shine too

Yes they do, but the sun is brighter, when sun shines, it is day. If its moon it’s the night.

Ya, my caterpillar book only has 1 page that is night, then there is that caterpillar that poo the egg out. What’s that mummy?

That’s the egg, the caterpillar lays an egg and after few weeks a baby caterpillar is born.

Why egg mummy?

Just like how mummy has a baby, the caterpillar has a baby. Just that caterpillar is an insect and that’s why is an egg

Where does caterpillar sleeps?

Amongst the plants. (points to the plants)

Amongst?

Between the leaves

Between??

Yes insects live around plants and trees.

But that day mummy, I saw a cockroach walking around in the playground. Cockroach is insect? Sleep in between leaves?

Cockroach, sort of

Mummy what u mean by sort of?

Yes… *II (really no mood for explanation, coz I may just slip out that cockroaches don’t die and they have live like forever!!)

Talking to herself… caterpillar, plants, egg, moon, stars, butterflies, sleeping

U know mummy, I know that the flag has moon and stars. Singapore flag is red  and white… but how does a a Malaysian flag looks like? I dun know mummy, I want to know… I feel sad I dun know, I really what to know. Like I know singapore flags have a crescent and stars, its red and white. What about Malaysia?

I will show it to u, u have book of flags.  Lets go home and see.

You know mummy, dogs have eggs? Do they also like caterpillar poo out of the egg?

Eh.. dogs different, we carry the baby. Its like baby kate and puppies.

But mummy caterpillar then butterfly right?

Yes baby..

Then mummy… why caterpillar has eggs and dogs don’t?

Baby.. we will go home and watch youtube on

Okie? Dun think so much

GUA GUA GUA

Mummy, you know that day Aunty May say to look at how u and daddy talk, you each have something in the throat that moves up and down. 

I just kept quiet before she goes on and on.. 

My brain cells just got burn at the rate she just goes on and on. I wonder what is the best way to feed her curiosity and how to answer intelligently. That day we were on the road and saw an ambulance, and the "hop on and off bus" , OMG the questions... n I think I am the one that stirs such questions because of the way I explain u know! But thank god for You Tube man. I had to show her the insides of the ambulance and double decker!!! coz she was asking how to go up to the top and how can they fit the staircase inside of the bus!

Oh something to share, V & K has this thing for watching doctors bursting CYST- monster and sick ones. She laughs at how the gloob gets pushed out... its absolutely DISGUSTING!!! she laughs at it and calls these video - Funny video . *omg

Want to share with me what does your kiddo asks? I think it will be great fun to read them!!
