I finished reading a very good book in one sitting.
I havent done that for a long, long time.
Devouring a book in one sitting is just like having a great holiday, dont you think so, too?

Papa, please act normal!
Since he's been single for a long time before getting married and then having kids, my husband's been used to some actions around the house that doesnt seem to agree to what being normal is through the eyes of our girls.
For example, he washes his hands using the faucet in the bathtub, rather than using the wash basin. His reason? It would save time cleaning the wash basin.
Well, that action doesnt sit well with the kids; especially if both of them are in the bathtub and the papa would be coming in to wash his hands :)
So MC and IC would always sigh and say, 'Papa, why dont you act normal?'

Nobody Loves Me
Last Saturday, MC came home after playing with her friend, in a good mood.
And then suddenly, she found everything at home not in order.
She complained about the smell of the grill (our tenants were in the garden having a little party), she complained that her room is a mess (we were in the middle of tidying up when she left to play with her friend), and then to our amazement, she started throwing things around!
Well, I had to stop her! I took her in my arms and told her to take a break first. She wont, instead she run back to her room, scattering her toys around. I told her to stop or else everything would be broken and she wont have toys to play with anymore.
She answered me back with these words: 'Niemand hat mich lieb' Nobody loves me.
Huh? What did she say? I was shocked and a bit curious with her dramatic display. In fact, I asked her to repeat what she just said. She did, with a hint of embarrassment. Right there and then, I told her, of course we love her.
She calmed down after a few minutes and she cleaned up her room without saying anything.
But later that night, I had to ask her where she got those words from. Did she hear those words from anyone? Did she get those from a movie? Where?
Nothing. She simply smiled at me.
