Some things could be avoided, but...

On that one fine beautiful morning, dd was still at the breakfast table fatt-ngau-dau with his cups of cereal+milk, water, fresh fruits blended and roti sekeping in front of him. Seeing his wrist with his bro's newly acquired watch, I can only imagine the scenario that might be going to happen in the coming 15 mins time. I thought for a second if I should do something to avoid that to happen or see if my motherly sense is that accurate.

Having done with my business in the kitchen, I went to the bathroom to washed up leaving the kids to savor their hearty breakfast, as usual. It didn't take too long to hear some commotion, I don't even need to lift my ears up to listen to what it was. Kor was trying to MAKE his brother to return back the watch but of course, this little fella won't be so easy with him.

Then, Kor came running to me and complained that his watch had been watch-napped. I would have told him to stay calm, and I would come to its rescue soon, but yet, I didn't. Somehow, I wanna watch how he's gonna play his next move.

Next thing I heard... *clang* the sound of spoon dropping on the floor and I knew it! I walked over and saw dd's standing there with his cereal+milk on his uniform, shirt and pants all. Big SIGH!!!

AND IT WAS TIME TO GO TO SCHOOL!!

AND THE OTHER PANTS WAS STILL SOAKED IN THE WASHING MACHINE!!!

I panicked a little while grumbling and complaining and yelling my head off at Kor and rushed about cleaning up his soiled cereal pants, ironing it up, ironing his other white shirt too and barked at Kor to clean up the mess on the floor and table for me.

We ran late a little bit, but still on time, *whew*.

A little post-mortem, I asked myself if it's all worth it. I mean, what I wanted to do before it had happened, I wanted to test if Kor is mature and sensible enough to know upfront what will happen if he played it rough. I was kinda hoping he would make me proud, and quite honestly, I was very disappointed. I wondered if kids his age should have been smart enough to know NOT to try and shake the watch off from someone else's hand while seeing there are CUPS of drinks everywhere around.

And yet, I was also glad too that this could be a lesson for him, a very much practical lesson than theory, that THIS would be the result of a very wrong move. Sometimes I feel I had protected them too much, too pampering for them. Before any "accidents" like this sort happens, I would be quick enough to prevent it from happening and most of them, my intuitions won't go wrong. Including this time. And they won't learn from their mistakes. Hence, well, it might be a good thing after all, ain't it?

Well, anyway.

Later, I found out that the car my hub was driving had its back number plate missing. SIGH!! What a day! Anyway, there was the other car which I would be using normally.

And then, I went all the way to lightning thundering that far to deposit a check for my hub. Since he had given the order to bank it in ASAP the night before, I forego my morning yumcha sessi just for that matter alone. When I came back to where I was, he called. I was expecting a thankyoudahlingIloveyousomuchforyourfastaction call, but what the fart, he told me NOT TO BANK IN THAT CHECK AS ITS POST DATED!!! Damn! (OK, so I should have check it out myself, but do I need to care??)

By the rate things were going that beautiful morning, I was starting to freak out a little. Not to say I'm supertititious, but is Someone trying to tell me Something? *fingers and toes crossed*

Anyway, that was all that had been that day. Everything later went on as per usual ...*fingers and toes still crossed*
