Dude, where's my car? Aishah's version

~Yousof's car (well, googled pic but you get the idea)~

At my house everybody has a car. It's because everyone works at different places and cannot car pool. Even my parents who work at the same place need separate cars because my dad often has to go for meetings and conferences elsewhere.

There is an extra car at the house. An old red Volkswagen Beetle that can no longer cruise the open highways because no-one will insure it. My dad bought the car a few years ago and he used to love driving it on the weekends. From the first time Yousof saw the car he automatically staked his claim. To him, it was only logical that the car was his because everybody else already had their own car. He's forever getting driving tips from me and eating alot so that he can be big enough to drive his car :) (good motivation for a picky eater).

Yesterday, Aishah asked a million dollar question.



"Tok Wan, kenapa Aishah sorang aje yang takde kereta?" Just as my mother was trying to come up with a suitable reply, Yousof chimed in.

"Aishah kena sabar lah. Aishah tu baru 3 years old. Nanti Aishah dah 5 years old macam abang, Tok Ki beli lah kereta untuk Aishah."

"Iye ker? (satisfied)"

Wow! My dad better start saving from now. He has 2 years to buy this "great" present. How uncomplicated kids view life :)

||PICK OF THE DAY||

I would like to wish a beautiful blogger buddy of mine, Farah and her hubby, Happy First Anniversary. May your lives be filled with love, always.

Even Mondays are great!

~Relax! It's a Monday~

It's a brand new week people! No room for Monday blues. Even though the kids love their weekend at home, they always look forward to "school" too. Now that the Stream has once more been converted into the official school van, my mornings will officially start after I send them all off to "school".

~Peace! We're off to school~

The short trip used to be filled with the sound of squabbling kids but nowadays they pretty much amuse themselves. Playing games and commenting on everything that happens outside the window. I love listening to their chatter. Yousof usually spends the trip "teaching" his younger siblings about trees, cars and other "important" stuff. Aishah plays the part of attentive student and Hamzah just likes to feel grown-up by "participating" in the conversations.

~Have a great day Ummi!~

Handing them over to their respective teachers still leaves me a with a little lump in my throat and I am the wistful one who waves fervently as they walk away from me. They usually just shake my hand and give a little wave before enthusiastically joining their friends.

~Photoshoot?~

~You can go now, Ummi!~

I learn alot from my kids and their positive attitude towards life. One of which is.. Even Mondays are great!
