conversations with a four year old..

sometimes kan while walking to and from anywhere with sarah..i ended up laughing out loud a lot. actually walking with the girls is funny. just listening to their conversations jer dah tak boleh tahan. but eventually have to step in jugak when the topic is about butt, poop or fart.

is it a universal thing with kids. i was once talking to my sis in law when she mentioned that another nephew who is about sarah's age, well maybe slightly older, would say the malay version of those words. and it dawned on me that it was not an isolated case with my children.

anyway, while walking sarah to school yesterday, i sort of jokingly asked her if she could walk to school by herself. now that we have discovered a short cut, via the back alley, the school seems to be a lot nearer. she said that she could not walk to school by herself. i asked her why. she then proceeded to tell me that she is still tiny. she illustrated her tininess, by showing me how tall she is , using her thumb and her index finger. i said..really?..and she said yes..also she said that if she were to walk to school, by herself , she will be killed..alamak..how did she come to that conclusion ni..hehe. she's probably been watching too many CSI episodes with me lah ni..hehe. anyway, judging by the way some of the ppl drive nowadays..i am not surprised. anyway, told her that , that will not be the case insyallah.

she also got to bring home a styrofoam cup filled with dirt. apparently, they have planted a pumpkin seed. she was so proud of the stuff that she brought home from school..nobody can hold that cup lah..walaupun jalan cam nak jatuh, but die die the cup ppl cannot touch...hahaha.

sarina is still pestering me to buy pumpkins..i said no sebab it's a waste of money. well, what can i say..the whining went on and on and on. i am not looking forward to the drive up to hiawatha this afternoon..well to eudora actually and tomorrow to hiawatha. ni lah sean..if follow my plan, we could all go up to eudora today then spend the night in hiawatha and drive home tomorrow. nooooo..it has to be his way... drive up to eudora later..then tonight itself drive back down to ellsworth and tomorrow morning drive up to hiawatha and drive back down the same day.

see, right now, he is on his way back here. he went up to eudora to pick up gerry, so that gerry could drive the boat down and well..help him move some stuff. okay..so up to eudora which is like 3 hrs..then 1 1/2 hrs to hiawatha, and 31/2 hrs from hiawatha to here. then later drive up to eudora to send gerry back home..another 2 1/2 hrs..and we then drive back down. then besok kena drive back up to hiawatha and back down..last night while talking about this, he said that he is not willing to drive over a thousand miles within a day...but besok nak go back up is okay?...what the hell...mine is so much better because you cut one drive up..we save 3 1/2 hrs of driving...but noooooo..

i have to say, me not working, my patience is not that good lah. very very short..and i am not going through PMS..hehehe. i think i feel trapped again..dunno why i feel this way. working , i think , in some ways makes me feel productive..but then wait till i am working..then you will hear me bitching about not wanting to go to work kan..hehe. kesian sean..kena tengking dengan i sometimes...well, actually i don't think i was menengking dia lah..to me it sounded like normal..hahahaha. but according to him i was barking at him..hahahahaahhaha....perhaps i am going through the pre-menopausal stuff tak?..wonder how old we must be in order to have those symptoms eh?..hmmmmmmm...maybe it is the pre-pre menopausal stuff..hahahaaha
