DInner conversations.

I ought to eat dinner with them more often. Most of the time, I would serve their dinner earlier while I wait for their papa to come home so he doesn't need to eat on his own. Well, apart from that, another reason is I would be sneaking away to steal some "me time" on the internet, chatting craps endlessly.

Which is really not a good idea. Because, they would be taking too long time to finish off their meals, and both the boys would be having a helluva time making meimei go bawling away..."mommmeeee, you see korkor and 2kor....".

And most times, I end up shouting, threatening, warning, and doing all the wrong things!

So, I try to eat with them more often now. As while we eat, it's also a good time to catch up and have a little relaxing chat.

Today, korkor told me he would like to ask a few of his friends over for his birthday this year. Including SOME girls. So I asked him if he likes girls now, coz sometime before, he swore he hated girls and the description of them is one word.. yucks!

This time, he surprised me by admitting yeah, he likes girls now. And he wants many girlfriends. I imparted some wisdom to him, saying "no need so many geh.. 1 good one enough already, like mommy..." (that's one advantage talking to them.. no need to feel ashamed one! tee hee!). He said "but mommy not pretty now lorrr...". Deng! So frank, so hard to stomach. Ouch!

Sigh!!!! Watudo. They said "but mommy so fierce". I reminded them that it's them who made me what I am today, wokay. Before, I was such a sweet and demure girl. I wouldn't like to be a fierce mom too, would I?

Anyway, that was a pretty good meal conversation. It was all so cute. And all of them finished up their meals before 8pm, which means they could continue with their homework and the normal routine before bedtime. So no yelling, no shouting, no bullying, no all the wrong stuffs.

I just wonder.... if korkor is, at this early age, think of girls as in "cute girls"? You know what I mean? Jeez... sometimes I feel it's too early to be progressing so fast into that stage already. Please.. slow down a bit.. don't grow up too soon yet.
