Our tingkat service stopped operation for the Chinese New Year week. So, on Thursday evening, MAH-Let and MAH-Tai went to Compasspoint to da bao dinner home. While we were waiting for the lift, a man with a huge pot belly came. And the inquisitive MAH-Let asked :
ML : Mummy, how come the uncle's tummy so big? He looks like he's got a baby inside.
MT : (trying very hard not to laugh) Shh....please don't be so loud. Mummy will explain to you later
When the lift came and all went in, including the pot bellied man...
ML : Mummy, you still haven't tell me why
MT : Tell you why what?
ML : Why the uncle's tummy so big?
MT : (totally embarrassed) Mummy said I will explain later!
When we got out of the lift, I told her that uncle drank too much beer and he's got a beer belly.
On Friday, while we were out for lunch, MAH-Let pointed to a pot bellied man and cried out loudly, "Mummy! This uncle has a beer belly!" I almost fainted!
Kids are so pure and innocent. They speak of the truth so quickly without having to worry about consequences. Though MAH-Let still may not understand that, sometimes, the truth hurts, but at least she understands that a woman with a big tummy has a baby inside while a man with a huge tummy is a beer belly!
