Not"},"content":{"rendered":"

We’d done quite a fair bit of travelling in the car during the long weekend, going here and there. Being stuck<\/strike> in the car with two boisterous chatterboxes for many hours requires a lot of patience, which I have not.<\/p>\n

In the car, Daddy and I tried to plan for a get-away during the coming school holidays but constantly got interupted by the girls, for the smallest things, such as the below : <\/p>\n

Zaria: Maa. Maaa. Maaaa.<\/span> (Girls call me either ‘ma’, ‘mummy’ or ‘mum’)
\nMe : huh?<\/span>
\nZaria: Do you know what is kolam? It’s pond.<\/span>
\nMe : Hm.<\/span><\/p>\n

Zara : Maa. Maaa..<\/span>
\nMe : huh?<\/span>
\nZara : I love you, you know.<\/span>
\nMe : Hm.<\/span><\/p>\n

Zara : Maa. Maaa..<\/span>
\nMe : huh?<\/span>
\nZara : You know I can sing well.<\/span>
\nMe : Hm.<\/span><\/p>\n

Zaria: Maa. Maaa.<\/span>
\nMe : huh?<\/span>
\nZaria: Jiejie teased me. You scold jiejie.<\/span>
\nMe : Jie….<\/span><\/p>\n

Zaria: Maa. Maaa. Maaaa.<\/span>
\n(if still no answer from me) Mummy!!! Mom!!! Why you talked to jiejie but you’re not talking to me?<\/span>
\nMe : Ok, what?<\/span>
\nZaria: Just now I saw a red car.<\/span>
\nMe : (loosing patience) Oh kayyyyyyyyy<\/span><\/p>\n

So after like 100 rounds of the above.
\nMe : Girls! Girls…….! Can you girls stop interrupting? I can’t even have a decent conversation with your Daddy.<\/span><\/p>\n

All quiet… for like 15 seconds.<\/p>\n

Zara : Maa. Maaa..<\/span>
\nMe : *annoyed* WHAT???!!!!!<\/span>
\nZara : You are not having a conversation now, so can I talk?<\/span>
\n*faint*<\/p>\n

Daddy intervened : Can the two of you just sit back and relax?<\/span>
\nZaria: I cannot relax. I cannot feel anything.<\/span>
\nDaddy : You are not supposed to feel anything. You are supposed to relax.<\/span>
\nZaria: But I cannot feel anything.<\/span>
\n*faint*<\/p>\n

Zara : Maa. Maaa..<\/span>
\nMe : What NOW??!!<\/span>
\nZara : I think you are gumpy because you are having your period.<\/span> (so they know, because I asked them to help get me sanitory pads from the cupboard)
\nZara : When is your period going to be over?<\/span>
\no.O”<\/p>\n

And Daddy said he feels like bringing the girls to Terengganu during the holidays. Imagine the looooong drive.<\/p>\n
