Nothing beats another dose of Zara’s witty comments.

One day, on our way back from school, Zara told me, “I’ve already started with Mickel. He is my boy friend now.”
I asked, “Oh, how come he’s your boy friend now?”
Zara replied, “Because now, he listens to my instruction. If I asked him to do something, he’ll do it.”
Oh, that’s her boy friend selection criteria.. good. 😛
I asked, “What about Ling Jing? He’s not your boy friend any more?”
(Ling Jing has started Standard 1, and Zara has not seen him since school terms ended last year)
Zara replied, “Even though I cannot see Ling Jing any more, he’ll always stay in my heart. Just like you’ll forever stay in my heart too.”
Sweeeeet.

Zara was using an expensive celephane tape to do her arts and crafts, so I told her, “Why are you using this celephane tape? I told you before right? It’s expensive. And I told you to use the cheap one for your arts and crafts.”
Zara replied, “Oh. I forgot. If I use (all of) this celephane tape does it mean you will need to sell the house (to buy another)?”
(Like Shopping Amah Laundry Amah, she loves to buy things, and she’s always asking us to buy her this and that. I have to threaten her that if she kept buying things even if she didn’t need it, we’ll have to sell our house to sustain her shopping habit.)

We were at a neighbour’s house, and my neighbour’s 7 year old said he didn’t like school, and didn’t want to go to school.
Zara, like an old wise lady said, “But you must go to school. If you don’t go to school, next time when you get married then you’ll have problem.”
Both my neighbour and I looked at each other, what did getting married have to do with going to school?
Like a sage, she continued, “If you don’t go to school, you won’t learn how to control your stregth. If You don’t know how to control your strength, after you get married already, you’ll hurt your girl friend.”

Zara told me one day, “You know, WY told me her grandmother is 100 years old.”
WY, who’s Zara’s classmate, is picked up by her grandmother daily, so I’d seen her grandmother before, and she looked like she’s in her late fifties/early sixties, definitely not 100 years old.
So I told Zara, “No la.. how can she be 100 years old.”
Zara replied, “Yesss.. It’s real. Her grandmother is 100 years old.”
I said, “No la.. if she’s 100 years old, how can she look so young.”
Zara replied, “It’s the make up that she puts on.”
