According to Edrick, my bedroom is the ‘coolest’ room in our home. Yeah, my air-conditioner is working much better than all the Yorks in this unit. So here he was, in my cool room playing with his iPad but obviously busy thinking.

Edrick: Mommy, can I ask you a question?
Mommy: Sure, Monch. Ask away.
Edrick: But it is not going to sound so good.
Mommy: Oh? Okay… try me.
Edrick: If you have two choices of who you’re going to date: one – with the man you loved before, and two – with a new guy… which one are you going to choose?
Mommy: Oh boy! This is tough. But where is this coming from?
Edrick: It’s just a question, Mom.
Mommy: Oh all right. Well… who is this man I loved before? You mean Daddy?
Edrick: Yeah, that man.
Mommy: But I thought we all know he’s not interested in me anymore?
Edrick: Yeah, but what if that man wants to try again with you, Mom?
Mommy: Oh my, you don’t sound like an eight-year old, Edrick. This is tough for an adult like me.
Edrick: It’s just a question, Mom.
Mommy: I know. Okay, and who is this new guy that is to be my other choice?
Edrick: I don’t know, you tell me.
Mommy: Hmmmm… what do you think? Who would you recommend?
Edrick: I think you should go for choice number one.
Mommy: You mean with Daddy?
Edrick: Yeah, with that man.
Mommy: But he has somebody else now. You know it, and I know it.
Edrick: Okay Mom, go for some other guy then. Somebody totally new.
Mommy: What if I want to go out on a date with YOU?
Edrick: But I am only eight years old, Mom. And I’m your son. You don’t date your son!
Mommy: That’s why you don’t ask me this kind of question, my son. It’s complicated.
Edrick: Okay Mom. It’s really up to you.
Mommy: I know. But I don’t have time to bercinta.
Edrick: What’s bercinta?
Mommy: You have to learn Bahasa to know it.
Edrick: Awwwwwww pickle!
