Psychology ala Calvin & Hobbes

I can't even begin to tell you how relieved I am that the school holidays are here. This semester has really taken a toll on me, seems like I've been more stressed out over school work, CCA, teachers etc than usual. Maybe it's just a snowball effect.

I don't know who's happier that school is out, me or Andre! If there was a cartoon to depict the event, it would be both of us making a beeline to the school doorway, squishing each other comically at the exit in an attempt to be the first one out.

So here's a light-hearted anecdote to usher in the much needed holidays.

Andre: Mummy, do you love me?

Me: Of course.

Andre (flashing a cheeky grin): If you love me, you wouldn't scold me.

Me: I scold you because I love you.

Andre (protesting): That's not true! I don't like the girl sitting next to me and I'm always scolding her.

Me: No, that means you secretly luuuuuuuurrrrrvve her.

Andre: AAARRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!


Lesson: Never try to out-guilt your mum.


Happy holidays!!
