Thursday morning. No school for Edrick. It was shower time before going out to Crocus City Mall with the ladies, Aunty Lirang and Aunty Marilyn. When shower was done, I lifted Edrick up and out of the tub (the kids’ bathroom only has the shower-in-tub type of shower).
Edrick: Mom, don’t put me in the rubbish!
Mommy: I’m not going to put you in the rubbish!
The rubbish bin was right next to the tub, but I was not even lifting my son over where the bin was. In fact, I did it over the opposite direction.
Mommy: What made you think I was going to put you in the rubbish? You’re not garbage!
Edrick: No, I’m not! Just don’t put me in the rubbish, ok?!
Mommy: I won’t! *frowns the “Huh?” frown*
Edrick: Promise!
Mommy: Okay, okay! I promise! *looks very comically confused as her jaw drops to the bathroom floor*
Edrick: And promise you won’t get angry ever again!
Mommy: *takes 2.33 seconds to gear up into full speed and with her brain still going at 23,000rps… explodes into the loudest laughter, louder than what all kememel les mim burse’s put together can ever make*
Edrick: Mommy! I.t.’s. n.o.t f.u.n.n.y!
Mommy: *is not able to control her after-explosion chuckles, realizes that she is being tricked into making an extremely challenging promise*
Edrick: Mommmmy! You’re not listening to me!
Mommy: Muahahaha! Ahah, aahaahhhaah! I can’t promise you that I won’t get angry ever again. Muahahaha! Ahah, aahaahhhaah! But I can promise I will never… ever put you in the rubbish! Ever!
Edrick: Thaaatzzz promising!
Mommy: *watches her jaw drop to the floor again, neither able to comprehend where all the sudden lightning strikes from, nor able to pick up her jaw*
Edrick, you’re a a man after my heart…hahahaha….
Mana la kuah nak tumpah, kalau bukan kat atas nasi.. 🙂
Hehehe!
Mel, selalu jugak kuah tu tumpah kat baju. And in my KaCher’s case, mesti tumpah kat tudung. Hehehe. 🙂
