My 5-year old brother and I were in my mother's bathroom, because he spilled yoghurt on his shirt and had to change it. (Imagine us at the left sink, if you need to. :P)
For the second time. (The first time was crayon.)
He switched on the tap, and flipped the metal part of the sink. You know, the type that allows the water to be drained out?
As I help him to change, I tell him, "You know what?"
*Splash, splash, splash.*
"Hey, stop playing with the water! As I was saying, I could probably tell you some really word right now, and when you grow up and hear it again, you'll probably be wondering, 'Hey, when did I hear this word before?' Don't drain the water! You can use it for uh... Some other day. Like for a long, long time. So right now, I'll tell you something like... Pink lush lips! That's right! Pink lush lips."
-Silence-
"Okay. So I've told you that. And when you grow up, you'd probably be asking, "Where have I heard 'pink lush lips' before?" And I'll be like, 'Oh I don't know!'"
-I help him adjust his shirt.-
"Okay. I'm done now."
-He runs away.-
I don't blame him.

I only wear one pair of shoes, and my mother always comments on how scruffy they are and how I need to wear a different pair.
"You have so many shoes, but all never wear!"
She was clearing out the shoe cupboards today, looking for some that she could bless others with. And so my brother walked up the stairs carrying a pair.
"Eh. Mummy asks if you still want these shoes."
Yes. I had an obsession with pink once.
Basically we went around Vietnam those MANY, MANY, MANY years ago, looking for a pair that would fit my huge feet and creepishly long toes.
And finally found a black pair of Levi's, then changed the shoelaces.

Oh how I regret it now.
But my mummy loves me. :P

A VERY serious discussion with Miss Helena and Miss Ozawa in the Science lab.
Helena: GIVE US THE MENTOS! I KNOW YOU HAVE SOME! GRAPE, RIGHT?!
Me: Really, I don't have any on me right now. (I had been eating Hi-chews when they sniffed the grape flavour from my mouth. :P)
Helena: RIOKO! Isn't it a coincedence how whenever we ask her for mentos, she never has any?
Rioko: SHE HAS MENTOS?
Me: NO, I DON'T HAVE MENTOS!
Rioko: YOU HAVE MENTOS?!
Me: NO! Check my pockets, if you want.
-Miss Ozawa goes on to check the pockets of my hoodie and track pants.-
Rioko: Oh. She doesn't have any now. In your bag?
Me: Uhh. Uhh.
Helena: Everytime we ask you for mentos, you don't give us any!
Me: That's because everytime I find them, it's like finding treasure, and I go, 'Yay! Yay!'
Rioko: Oh, in your bag, right?
Me: Uh. Uh.
Rioko: Like in between and under your books?
Me: YES!
Rioko: -Points to self and gives and elfish grin- See? I'm so smart.
And while searching for the camera cable, I found two.
"Oh cool. They'll be so happy now."
