we want pet

the kids had been bugging begging me to get them a pet for the longest time now ... we used to have some pet fishes but they've all, well to put it gently, swam away to fish heaven ^.^ and since then, the kids had been coming up with different ideas for a pet ... at first, they wanted a dog ... then, a rabbit ... and now, after seeing one from a friend, the latest in thing is a hamster ...

yesterday, i got a couple of ang pao's (red packet) from the big bosses at work ... of course, as the good mom that i am *bow*, i shared my collection to the kids ... i gave each of them their own ang pao's as well, each with $2 taken from my own ang pao tee hee ...

after getting his, gabie asked ordered me to buy him a hamster with his ang pao money ...

upon hearing this, mikee said, "no! i don't want a hamster ... i want a mouse!"

oh well, mikee wants a mickey ...

^.^

sonic

during dinner, gabie asked our helper how to spell sonic ...

gabie: ate, how do you spell sonic?

ate: z-o-n- ...

gabie: no, s!

ate: no, it's z-o ...

gabie: no, s! come on, spell sonic, ate.

ate: ok ... s-o-n-i-c

gabie: ok, thanks!

chuckie

lately, mikee's been asking for a chuckie chocolate drink ... i would have given it to her, if only it's available here in singapore ... unfortunately, it's not =(

what amuses me is how eager mikee is to have one ... i swear, she's never tried it before ... all i know is that it's advertised in nickelodeon ... so, i guess, she's been seeing too much nickelodeon lately ... and the advertisers are doing a great job in enticing the kids =)

mikee wants it so much that just now she came to me and said, "mama, my tummy really wants a chuckie!"

oh boy, what can i do?

^.^

the b word

one day, miggy and gabie, were playing with their toys ...
suddenly, they started fighting ...
then gabie, came to me and said, "mama, kuya called me the "b" word!!!" ...
of course, i was surprised ...
the only "b" word i can think of is "bitch" ...
and i have no idea where miggy heard it or why he would call gabie a bitch ...
so, i asked him, "kuya, what did you call gabie???" ...
and he replied, "mama, i just called him a baby, coz he's such a baby!" ...

oh ok, so that's the "b" word!

boys vs girls

mikee's reaction when she found the receipt from our grocery shopping last weekend:

oh wow!
we bought so much!
cool!
and it's so expensive!
wow!!!

gabie's reaction to mikee:

yeah, yeah ...

and that shows us the difference between a man and a woman's reaction towards shopping ... one is excited ... while the other is so uninterested ... and it does start at a very young age ... lol
