My sister’s maid has gone back to the Philippines for a month’s holiday. To ensure my dad (who lives with her) has proper lunch and dinner prepared for him, I’d been going over to her place 3 times a week to help out. I’ll work from home half a day, and then I’ll pick the girls up from school with Jelly and then go to my sister’s place and work from there for the rest of the day.<\/p>\n
On one of the days that we were not going to my sister’s place, I picked the girls up from school without Jelly.<\/p>\n
In the car, this conversation took place. There goes my chance to get my permanant going out visa<\/a>.<\/p>\n In case it gives you wrong ideas, pak toh or not, holidays or not, definitely there won’t be any more didis or meimeis. We’re quite sure about that. <\/p>\n
\nZaria : (seeing Jelly didn’t come with me) How come Aunty Jelly didn’t come today? Today we’re not going to Karen Yiyi’s place?<\/span>
\nMe : Ya. Today we stay at home.<\/span>
\nZaria : But I want to go play with my kor kor.<\/span>
\nMe : Huh?<\/span>
\nZaria : I want to go play with Norman kor kor.<\/span> (Norman is my nephew)
\nZara : (chipped in) You know what this means?<\/span>
\nMe : What?<\/span>
\nZara : You should get married to Daddy again, and give us a didi.<\/span> (I told the girls they have to get married to give birth to babies when they asked me how babies were made)
\nMe : *TING! Light bulb litted* Oh, you want a didi?<\/span>
\nBoth : Ya!!<\/span>
\nMe : Can…. To get a didi, mummy and Daddy need to go pak toh (Cantonese : Dating) and go for holidays alone without the two of you. Then after a few times of pak tohs and holidays alone, then only we can get didi.<\/span>
\nBoth : Huh? Go pak toh?<\/span>
\nZara : I don’t want you to go pak toh and holidays without us. I don’t want didi already.<\/span>
\nZaria : I also don’t want.<\/span><\/p>\n
