claire's dilemma

16th july, joy's 17th bdae celeb.

the honourable presence of claire would be missed on that day, coz it coincides with her sch's ndp show day.

claire was obviously upset that she's going to miss the games and food....plus helping out with the decoration job.

she requested,"joy, can u save some chocolate eclaire for me?"

joy's response was lame,"huh, i dunno whether the food would be enough for my friends or not leh.."

"but i like it, also some tidbit snacks!"claire relentlessly persuaded.

here comes mommy,"aiya joy, i will separately prepare fries and popcorn chickens for ur friends lah...just saving 2 choc eclaires for claire will not be that difficult, rite? just agree with her!"

"ok, claire!" joy sang the same tune as me.

then, joy suggested,"well, claire can still attend my bdae."

"how?" asked the eager claire.

"either ndp show or my bdae lah!" joy's lame answer, as usual.

"but mommy said it's once in a lifetime..." claire responded.

yes, i did tell her that such an event is not easily attainable unless one is successful thru balloting. furthermore, to watch it with her friends at the breezy floating platform area is sure a wonderful experience.

but, guess what, claire blatantly declared that she's only after the goodies bag, not the show (which she claimed is boring). i told her that sharon au would be back for the show and would be putting up a skit...it should be enjoyable!

hope both my kids' experience at the show and celeb would be a memorable one. hubby and i would just be spectators.

that's the advantage when our kids grow up, we get less involved with such things. only financial backing matters, haha.
