Kids !

Being the last day of the CNY (chap gor meh), we had quite a fair bit of relatives who "popped" over my house on Sunday. My two favorite niece and nephew also turned up ! Before my nephew came to my house, he was at a cousin's birthday party. There was a balloon sculptor there, so he came to my house with a balloon sword.

After 2 hours, after he watched SHREK II vcd, he went to "retrieve" his sword. Much to his disappointment, the sword has actually "Kew Zui" (shrunk)... and he went to my aunt, asked her to help him blow some air into the balloon to make it original size again.

However, my aunty couldn't do that, that is already a "sculpted" balloon, could only let it slowly deflate on its own. Explained to my dear nephew that we couldn't do anything to it. Then his 十万个为什么 come liao.. keep asking WHY WHY WHY in reply to all our reasonings and excuses as to why we cannot "revive" the sword to original size. Before that, his mom told me something about him which his 举一反三 rebuttal is super the fast response !

So, now what is the issue? Kids getting smarter, but also getting on our nerves, to the extent that we do not know whether to be angry with them, to laugh at them, or to be proud of them...
