a bowl of laksa

at the food court, 20/12/2010.

before claire could tuck into the yummy bowl of laksa, she came running to me in fear,"mom, my tooth has dropped?"

"where?" i asked.

"umm...the bowl of laksa!" she looked at me apologetically.

so, guess what happened to the bowl of laksa?

well, many would hv guessed that i had bothered to succeed in my 'treasure hunt' before continuing to enjoy the laksa. wrong answer.

i ate strands of noodles, gingerly and slowly, then drank a few mouthful of soup. still, at the end of it, no tooth was in sight.

with a last scoop of the gravy with my spoon, jillian shrieked,"it's there, aunty verlyn. i saw it!"

"really?" i queried. must be the failing eyesight, haha.

well, at the end of it, the lesson learnt was - mother's love is noble. c'mon, who else would hv the audacity to finish the bowl of laksa like i did? bet you, no one would.

and of coz, claire got her $2 reward from her tooth fairy after 2 days....guess, the tooth was in fairly good condition which pleased the tooth fairy.
