She aint heavy, she’s my mama

If there’s anyone who can melt me into a puddle with just a few words, it’s my younger girl, Gean. She’s a real mummy’s girl, that one.

Of course, I have to mention how she painstakingly copied SIX pages of lyric just so she can serenade me from the pages (so cute!)

And then there is that incident where her friend chanced upon our cutesy neoprint and made a comment like ‘Wah, your mum’s quite fat’.

Our friend positively puffed up her chest and bellowed,

‘You don’t know anything ok! My mum is exercising now and she lost a lot of weight OK!’

She was still bristling indignant when she related the matter after ballet class. Heh.

On a sidenote:

Gean's first day at school
Gean’s first day at school.

There’s something very poignant about this photo that I can’t put my finger on.

    You know… she’s looking a lot like Ger now that she’s older… :)

    S: I know! But some parts of her still resemble me. Like her eyes for instance. And her manja-ness. heh

    On a sidenote, I read Fitti’s blog with some degree of sadness. Imagine abusing your child just because she resembles your ex whom you hate. I really can’t comprehend that… I cannot imagine hurting the girls just because they look like him somehow.

    Yup, there are indeed ppl who just cannot move on after a bad break up. You and I are the lucky (possibly stronger) ones who managed to move on and live happier than before. *smile*
