Sweet granddad he truly is one.

These days has been terribly awful scorching hot! The hot spell can really make you darn tired and lazy not?

I feel tired, lazy (what's new?) and sweaty the whole day!

Today after done cooking dinner, I called the kids over to help get dinner out. It was after a slight drizzle and the sky was hazy without the sun glaring. My dad asked if dinner to be served out on the balcony or at the dining table, I decided balcony since it had been a long while since we last had it there. It ought to be cooling a bit after the drizzle, or so I thought.

But unbelievable crazy shit, it was still so hot! I was sweating profusely, the air was warm, humid and there wasn't any wind blowing. In addition, the soup was piping hot. Everything so hot!

Meimei was complaining but feeling lazy to move everything over back to the dining table, I told her to just suck it up, tie her hair up and eat her dinner. She went on and on throwing a little tantrum about not being able to tie her hair and I refused to help her and in the end, she started to cry. Which made me even more furious! And I shot her a lecture this shouldn't be the way to thank me for a dinner I had tirelessly made for them though I was sweating all over myself for the last 1.5 hours or so. She fought hard to hold back her tears then.

Later, my dad who had finished his dinner, consoled meimei and taught her to eat slowly spoon by spoon and even fan her with a piece of newspaper so she wouldn't be so hot. I felt so touched, my dad is really a great guy. He had shown his love and soft ways to me ever since I was young, and now, he's doing the same to my little brat. And I felt they are SO lucky to have their 4 grandparents doting on them so much.

I wanted to take a picture of him doing that as proof and show meimei how much her wai-koong pampers her but my phone ran out of juice. So, I just have to make do with telling this story in my own words, hoping she would, in future, realize how really wonderful her grandparents are.
