Move Aside, Linda…

1 Jul

Next to my superhero alter-ego, Linda, there is another even more powerful superhero, the Google Mum.

Whenever faced with a mind-boggling situation, the hubby would tell the girls, “Go ask the Google Mum. She knows everything.”

Like just now over lunch, he had chewing gum stucked to his shoe and instantly, Google Mum found the solution (use WD40 to remove) or when M2’s iPod took a dive into the jello pudding, it was Google Mum—not Linda—who found the solution; it’s always Google Mum to the rescue.

Google Mum is also expected to know where everything is in the house, right down to its exact location and coordinates. Might as well be elevated to Googlemap Mum.

Many times I would receive a call from home asking where this and that are kept and I have to give the step-by-step directions to go look for that item in question.

Amazing capabilities the Google(map) Mum has and gives Linda a good run for the money!

I Need a Plaster

1 Jul

There must be something magical or addictive to having a plaster (band-aid) stuck on the body. Worn like a proud badge over a war wound, little children simply loves it for its sense of security and magical healing powers.

When M1 was young, she adored having plasters on her limbs. Whenever she discovers a mosquito bite, she’d ask for a plaster to cover it. But when there were several mosquito bites, it became ridiculous, I had to put a stop to it. So I decreed, “You put a plaster over it only if there is blood, ok? No blood, no plaster!”

So the next time, she had a mosquito bite, she cleverly scratched the spot until blood oozed out. “See? Got blood. I need a plaster.” Sigh.

The obsession with the plaster thankfully ended when M1 got older. Now it’s M2’s turn, plastering even a surface scratch. Let’s see how long this addiction will last.
