My cousin is a pirate

We were having Mother's Day dinner at my grandparents' on Saturday and MHM was seated next to me (I have slightly risen up the 龙虎榜 because he spent a few happy days at my place when I picked him up from kindy. Honestly, I used to think that as long as the timing is planned properly, a charbor could handle family work kids blah. Now, I salute every single mother in the world, and no, I don't think I could do it. I totally didn't get half my work done because every 5 min he would want something, and despite plonking him in front of Wii, he'd come running into my room to kaypoh. Note to self: Don't leave plastic bags lying around your room even when door is pulled ajar. Either he falls or you do when you're trying to save him from falling.)

Everyone minded their own business when the boy-in-high-chair announced something while cupped his right eye with his left hand. It took us a few moments to realise what he shouted.

"PIRATE!"




Then he burst into song:

"WA MNG TEEEEE WA MNG TEEEEE"

This kid is more qualified to join 黄金年华 rather than some 安培娜杯 lor.

He has learned to bargain! One last round of Wii boxing = two last rounds and last round of two last round = press A another time. Three rounds of boxing per game mah. I tried to bluff him that oh two rounds is up already. Little monkey tells me in canto it's not up yet; must press A another time after this game, then start again, then will finish. But he's super guai lah cos when it's up he will really stop.

The last time he was here, I taped an X on the floor cos he kept moving nearer and nearer to the TV, so I told him he could only play if he stepped on the X. This time he came and ran to the TV and asked me where's the X.
