Day 175/365: Chocolate cream chip.

One of the very serious responsibilities as parents, on top of feeding/clothing/education/disciplining/buying art supplies/giving them holidays/feeding their fish and the general keeping-them-alive guideline is..... playdates.

A playdate is when a parent brings their child out, along with their friends ie MORE children. So because I have four kids, I will be expected to do four sets of this. Because apparently "No, Mom, it's not cool to invite Daniel's friends to MY playdate." 😒

But the truth is, I enjoy doing this. It's quite fulfilling seeing your kids so happy with their friends, and I'd rather be there to see who their friends are and eavesdrop on their convos to make sure they're not talking about boys. 🤭

I took Mariam and her friends ice skating + lunch, and just when I thought that was a good day, the girls were like "STARBUCKS WE WANT STARBUCKS".

I'm sorry, aren't you guys 7? Don't 7-year olds drink Ribena or something?

The moment we got to Starbucks, the girls were squealing in delight. They ran inside checking out the tumblers and ooh-ing and aah-ing over the pastries and drink options. They took a good five minutes to choose and finally the verdict, "We want chocolate cream chip without the chip."

"So... chocolate cream, then?"

"Yeah!"

"Yeah!!"

"Chocolate cream chip without the chip! Chocolate cream chip without the chip!" They went on to chant and giggle.

Heard you the first time, guys. The entire Starbucks heard you too.

It was so cute watching them as they took their drinks, slurping and huddling at a table discussing their chocolate cream chip without the chip.

Sigh, we can learn so much from our kids. The little joys of life that we adults overlook daily, are seen so significantly by them. I continued watching them and smiled, making a mental note to myself to always appreciate things from now on.

Then, interrupting that thought, "I know you have a crush on him..." one of them said.

Crush?!

My head turned so fast, my neck hurt.

What crush crush!

"Ok time to go, girls! Party's over."

No one:
Me: Ha'ah, this scarf launch malam ni. 😜
