Mommy: “Darren, can you excuse us for a while?”

Darren:”Why? …… Okay. I know. You want to kiss Papa!”

[Papa Ed and I stared at each other surprised with his little remark.  Next, while Papa Ed and I were talking, Darren was sneaking around hideously. Aha! Obviously evesdropping! As soon as he monitored that his parents had finished whispering, he took the first opportunity to run back to us. Now, he has another version of interpretation.]

Darren: “So, you finish BEATING papa already?”

Mommy: ?????? *faint*

This little boy is always so playful. I wonder where he got the idea that ”leaving adults alone” means they are kissing or beating each other.  Erhh, maybe it is time to be really serious in ensuring parental guidance on the TV programme he watches.

Few days ago, out of the blue, Darren came up with this topic.

Darren:”Men like women because women pretty, right?”

[Noting that we were astonished at his sudden topic, he continued.]

 Darren: “A man looks at woman’s hair and face and says whether she is pretty.

Brendan:”So, Darren, who is the prettiest woman?”

Darren:”I don’t know. There are many women and I don’t know all. It is infinity women in the world, right?”

Brendan:”Who is the prettiest woman you know?”

Darren:”Mommy lah!”

Brendan:”You cheat! Just now, you said you don’t know all women and now you can choose!”

Darren:”You said prettiest woman I KNOW. I know many girls but not women. Mommy is a woman I know. So, she is the prettiest lah!”

 [Then, he decided to add this very sweet comment.]

 Darren:”Every child will say his mother is the prettiest. Mommy, right?”

Haha…he sure knows how to flatter me but is also fast to tell the truth that he has not many other women, he knows, to compare with and it is a “model answer” to praise one’s mother.
