As I showed them a piece of tapao walnut chocolate cake at home for them after school, they went berserk and can't wait for me to cut it up and chomp on it. Simply dividing it into 4 parts unevenly, the 2 boys jumped quickly and snatched the biggest 2 away while leaving the 2 smallest for meimei and me.
Meimei's lips turned down almost immediately and pouted, while feeling sad for her, I offered her a bite of mine. She gladly chomped and took ONE BIG BITE, leaving almost nothing left. I went wide-eyed and said, I have nothing!
And just then, without even prompting, korkor offered me his. I felt really touched. This sweet son of mine does have a little soft spot. I put my hand round his shoulder, which is almost my height by now, and said "You are a very good boy, that's very nice of you, but that's ok, I know how much you love it, you eat la".
Meimei, probably felt guilty, or seeing that I praised her elder brother for his generosity, came over and offered hers back to me. I beamed with pride with the 2 of them.
Didi? Can't see him anywhere enjoying peacefully his acquired share of dessert. sigh..... let there still be hope.

Wah, you purposely buy only a piece (and not 4 pieces) and then purposely cut them into 4 uneven parts to test your children's love for you kah? Like King Lear ah?
