Captain Underpants Strikes Again!

21 Jun

Captain Underpants seems to be a more revered superhero than say, Spiderman or Superman, although at one point, there were several sets of Spidey pyjamas in the wardrobe. Thank goodness only M2 reads the Underpants series.

It was the good Captain’s influence that this incident happened.

One night M2 wanted to pull a prank on M1 by placing two folded packets of ketchup under the toilet seat. Thinking that M1 will use the bathroom at midnight, she thought it was a brilliant prank!

But hubby made M2 use the bathroom instead. You could say the hubby was not amused when two little explosions went off!

I did not find out about this little backfired prank until much much later.

Secretly I Am Pleased

21 Jun

Early this week, I called home from the office and spoke to an enthusiastic M1. “Hi mummy! Guess my History marks?” M1 enthused.

“Hmm. 84?” “No. Out of 100. Guess!”

“Err… 78?”

“Mummy! Out of 100!” she chided me.

“94? I dunno… Tell me,” I gave up.

“100, mummy! I scored 100 for my History!” beamed a happy M1.

Wow. What a brilliant child my M1. I beamed with happiness too.
