After church yesterday, we drove to Little India for lunch together with Jeremy, Ivy, the 3rd SIL and the 3 kids. I remember clearly, pre-K, when the hubs and I used to frequent Mustafa at Little India. I like places like Little India and Chinatown. The culture is still so rich, something you don't experience on a daily basis, provided you don't work there.

After buying his stuff from Mustafa, the hubs wanted to look for an Indian outfit for K. K was not interested in them at all and went straight to where the children's cheong-sams were hung. Hahah...who are we kidding? This girl is 3/4 Chinese! Anyway, the Indian outfits were a little scratchy and hot. Although, I think they are nice and hopefully, she'll wear them willingly soon.

Before we headed to Mustafa, the group of us had lunch at an Indian Vegetarian fast-food chain. While K and I were seated when everyone else were at the cashiers' ordering their lunch, she made a comment. We happened to be seated at 2 adjoining tables and there was 1 customer finishing up his meal when she said:" Uncle is using his hands to eat....eekkk..so dirty." Immediately, I had to Sshhhh her and quickly thought of what to say. 

At home, K sometimes uses her fingers to pinch her food and we'll scold her. Telling her to use her spoon or fork and the usual thing about being hygienic. This time round, I had to tell her that as soon as she masters the skill of using the spoon and fork well enough, she can move on to using her hands. And that the Uncle doesn't swing his hands around causing all the food to drop like her.

In church earlier, she was swinging her right leg and hitting the leg of the kids chair she was on. When I chided her for being noisy, she pointed out to the boy in front and said that Kor Kor is swinging his leg too. Again, I had to reason with her and said that Kor Kor is not making any noise.

Oh dear....it's now time to churn out plenty of creative answers.
